Views, my own: #CoerciveControl is a multi-phased, sequenced attack in which an abuser employs a systematic pattern of behavior, often enduring for multiple years, in which an abuser seeks, gains and uses power over another person to dominate, subjugate, control them.
The emotional dysregulatory disorders, like BPD, CPTSD, & anxiety that #DomesticAbuse#CoerciveControl victims experience are not mental health issues, per se. They are the effect of psychological abuse. I hope that one day they will be considered evidence of abuse. @teju_guasu
100% true. It needs to stop and have some very serious consequences for the abusers. Living with anxiety & CPTSD is debilitating at times.Staying away from the abusers def does help but that only helps me not everyone else they are doing it to. justice system is not in our favor

If you have never experienced being on the receiving end of the silent treatment for weeks on end, for years on end, it will be hard to know the pain, assault to self-esteem, & anxiety that it induces. #CoerciveControl
