Result · Toxic Relationship: The Signs

Very Many Signs

What you describe gathers most of the behaviours professionals identify as coercive control: isolation, control of money and communication, rewriting of facts, fear of the other person's reaction. You don't have to prove anything to anyone and you don't need a quiz to be taken seriously. Talk to someone you trust or to a professional: it's a first step and it commits you to no decision. A domestic-abuse helpline in your country can be contacted confidentially, and if you are in immediate danger, call your local emergency number.
