Coercive controllers use conditioning to groom you. Change your thought patterns. After a while, you might realise that you haven't decided anything in months, big or small, because you're under his full control.
After leaving, that profound conditioning has to be unlearned, unravelled, and examined to help recovery.
And it's profoundly beautiful on the other side of that. If this resonates, keep going with it. Your physical and mental freedom are priceless.
