Single parent escaping FDV with 4 children, seeking support with groceries
Domestic & Family Violence
The mother demonstrates strong commitment and resilience in her role as the primary carer for her four children. Despite experiencing ongoing coercive behaviours through her ex-partner’s use of Family Court processes, she continues to prioritise the stability and wellbeing of her children. Her decision to seek financial support for groceries reflects a proactive and responsible approach to meeting her family’s essential needs during a challenging period. The ongoing legal processes and coercive dynamics have significantly affected the mother’s financial stability. The demands of managing supervised contact arrangements, attending court-related appointments, and navigating the emotional impact of these stressors have reduced her capacity to work consistently and increased day-to-day household pressures
