Send us a text What if “no abuse” still isn’t safe? We sit with Caitlin—mum, counsellor, and mentor—as she unpacks the quiet kind of misalignment that looks fine from the outside but slowly shuts your body down. Her throat clenched for months, weight spiked, biopsies and thyroid alarms piled up, and every “be grateful, he’s a good dad” message pushed her further from herself.
