You don’t have to attend every argument you’re invited to.
Saying nothing, deleting that perfectly written paragraph and replying with “ok?”
That’s not weakness. That’s power.
Sometimes the real strength is saying nothing at all.

Coercive control or controlling behavior
Coercive control is when a person hurts, scares or isolates another person to control them. This is domestic abuse and it can cause serious harm, even if there is no physical violence.

A person using coercive control can:

control who a person sees, what they wear and where they go
monitor or track what a person does
control a person's finances, medicine, food or exercise
criticize or blame a person, so they doubt themselves and their experiences
force someone to have s*x or do s*xual things.
People who experience coercive control may feel like:

they're walking on eggshells
they can’t disagree with the other person
it's difficult to say no.
