Great read!

I’m so so sorry. This was difficult to read and I can’t even imagine what it was like to live it. I’m also happy at the same time that you got out and healing yourself and helping others learn about this insidious and abhorrent issue that the system still doesn’t consider a threat enough unless it reaches dangerous levels.

Sending lots of love your way 🤍

Thank you so much, Ankita. Your words mean a great deal to me.

One of the reasons I write about coercive control is to help make visible the parts that are so often misunderstood or overlooked. If this piece helps even one person recognise what is happening to them, it feels worthwhile.

Thank you for reading so thoughtfully and for your kindness.
