Episode Seven: Fighting Fire

She had been fighting for herself. Now she was fighting for all of them.

Episode Seven takes Vanessa to London, to a park, and to a woman called Dawn Austin— an activist whose story has already changed the way Vanessa moves through the world.

This episode is where personal survival becomes collective action. Vanessa joins AMICA — a grassroots movement fighting to change the family court system from the inside.

Four voices this episode:

The story of meeting Dawn, going on camera, and Charlotte's five words that said everything.

The law on the fathers' rights movement, parental alienation, and the battle for judicial reform.

Vanessa's reflection on activism as a place for anger to go.

The stage — finding purpose, and the moment survival becomes something bigger than yourself.

I don't care where Daddy is. Because when he's gone, Mummy doesn't get hurt.
