@melissa.on.the.trail: Coercive control doesn’t always look like abuse at first. It can look like “love,” “protection,” or “concern.” But over time, it becomes: • Control • Fear • Loss of self If you’ve ever felt like you’re walking on eggshells, second-guessing yourself, or losing your independence… this matters. On the mental health side of Body and Mindfully Healthy, we help people through outpatient counseling recognize these patterns and rebuild their sense of safety, identity, and power. 🤍 ✨ You are allowed to have autonomy ✨ You are allowed to have boundaries ✨ You are allowed to feel safe in your relationships #CoerciveControl #EmotionalAbuseAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #TraumaInformedCare #HealthyRelationships

This is such a great acronym. With my coparent, I feel like there’s errors where I struggle with different “sets” of coercive control. Currently its moving the goal posts, changing the rules and boundaries, double standards.

So how do I even heal if this is my mom and ex husband. I’m just surrounded by it and everyone supports them in delulu land and hates on me. I’ve never known support or love without intense conditions. I’ve never meet a kinda person in my life. What is a friend? What does healthy even look like?

It’s so hard to explain what it does to your brain. I’m four months out of it and I still have so many questions about everything that happened.

I learned about coercive control through my lawyer going through my custody battle. It is exhausting. But identifying the behaviors and working with my therapist helped me ground myself through it so much.

know if the courts would actually recognize it as tge abuse it is that would be fantastic. in the family court setting when you try to address this system of abuse you are labeled and begin to lose custody and credit. even with mountains of evidence

All day. 24/7. Relentless. Because people can’t identify who allowed the bad actors infinite access

it literally makes me want to cry, I was stuck for 20 years, I didn't know any better and then came the screaming and spitting in my face. I had so much self doubt and 5 years later I'm still healing
