Committing to Growth: Level 2 Understanding Domestic Abuse




I’ve just signed up for another online course! Over the next few months, I’ll be undertaking Level 2: Understanding Domestic Abuse with the Learning Curve Group, and I couldn’t be more excited. For me, every course is more than just a qualification—it’s an opportunity to deepen my understanding, enhance my skills, and grow as an advocate.


Busy, busy 🐝 is an understatement! As I work through this course, I’ve been putting my own systems in place to ensure I retain and engage with the material fully. I draft my answers in Google Docs before submitting them online, carefully reviewing and refining my work. I take detailed notes alongside my answers to create a resource I can revisit and learn from long after the course is completed. This method has transformed how I study, helping me to internalise complex concepts and apply them practically in my charity and volunteer work.


Every module I complete feels like another step in a journey of progress. It’s not just about understanding domestic abuse in theory—it’s about recognising patterns, identifying risks, and knowing how to support those affected in real-life situations. The knowledge I gain is a tool I can use to make a tangible difference in the lives of others, whether through advocacy, guidance, or simply being there for someone who needs informed support.


I am constantly reminded that growth is an ongoing process. Taking the time to challenge myself, push my boundaries, and commit to continuous learning isn’t always easy, but it is deeply rewarding. Each lesson reinforces the importance of patience, resilience, and empathy—qualities that are central to the work I do as an Independent Disability Advocate+.


I am incredibly grateful to the Learning Curve Group, and to everyone who supports me in this journey. Your belief in my work allows me to keep improving, expanding my knowledge, and ultimately helping others in more meaningful ways. Knowledge is power, and every step forward is another way I can make a positive impact.

A close-up screenshot of a dark mode Google Docs folder. Two documents are visible, both titled "Level 2 understa..." in white text against the black background. The documents have different small writing spaced differently in each thumbnail. In the top left corner, it says "last opened by me" with a downward arrow. This screenshot visually represents how I organise my work in Google Docs and track my progress.

Butterfly world Stockton and abused:

💔 Went to butterfly world left Bud in the car for forty minutes and it's cool in the car and the windows are all open. Dog is absolutely fine but the way India who works there spoke to us laughing at us and slagging us off triggered my autism in public. Just had an autistic meltdown cause people are accusing us of animal cruelty and overstepping unprofessionally and abusively so we've left. Total humiliation and false allegations man. There's a way to talk to people so we've left and gone home. She was openly telling other people that we are abusive and they were all laughing at me but how dare she. He has water and we were almost done cause we were not going to leave him long but it doesn't matter. People don't care they only care to act high and mighty with a ganging up mentality.  Getting members of the public involved is wrong and if she had bothered to put her hand in the car where it's cooler than outside and in the shade she would have realised she w...

Fighting for Community: Why The Aviator Matters More Than Ever Something powerful happens when people come together — when a space opens its doors to everyone, no matter their background, ability, or walk of life. That’s what The Aviator Sports & Live Lounge has done for our town. And now, it’s under threat. For years, The Aviator has been more than just a venue. It’s been a beating heart in Newton Aycliffe. A place for celebration, connection, live music, family events, sports, comfort food, and spontaneous laughter with strangers who become friends. It’s one of the rare spaces that makes you feel like you belong — and in a world that can feel so divided and isolating, that’s priceless. As a disabled woman, I’ve often found public spaces either inaccessible or unwelcoming. But not The Aviator. It’s one of the few places where I’ve never had to fight to be included. The staff have always been kind, attentive, and respectful. I can just be. That shouldn’t be rare — but sadly, it is....

Let the truth free:

https://suno.com/song/9d00a6ed-1993-4f89-8957-e870e2721dfb?sh=fktW7nMZgO995bZU The song I made about this on an AI app called SUNO with my lyrics (above) --- I'm done being scared and bullied and hiding. I set the truth free and if I get harmed and arrested for doing so, so be it. I refuse to be harmed or suffer anymore, I can't cope. I've harmed no one at any time and asking for an apology and blogging about my mistreatment doesn't justify false allegations. This has been breaking me. I need to set the truth free so my bullies have no more control. I'm sorry I wish I was stronger. I did my best.
