@the_control_code: The incident is the last thing that happens. Not the first. Up to 1 in 3 women killed by their partner — the murder was the first time he ever put hands on her. The control was running the whole time. We were just trained to look at the wrong thing. If there’s already been an incident in your relationship, please hear this: the danger was there long before the hand. Don’t wait for the next one to count it. #coercivecontrol #domesticviolenceawareness #redflags #narcissisticabuse #dvawareness

If you are questioning whether this might be your situation please look up first signs of abuse relationship if those apply to you LEAVE please

I called my cousin and said "i gotta get out of here and i gotta get out today" and I truly believed if I didnt leave then I wouldn't leave alive, I felt so stupid because I didnt think I had a real reason to believe that/was being dramatic but looking back the coercive control happening was INSANE

Recognizing early signs will come when you pull back your energy, you, grey rock, you no longer respond to long text, or ongoing verbal arguments

Lifa :

Canada has a new proposed law, bill c-16 protecting victims, and it addresses coercive and financial controls 💕 hoping it passes

Amy Jo Payne :

So thankful to you for disseminating this critical information!

ReqDen :

I invite you to entertain the idea of creating webinars to share with high schools and college campuses! I wish I knew so much of what you’re saying and what I know now so much earlier

lovepigeon :

Thank you for helping to inform people. Keeping these conversations going is so important for making progress. They don’t teach it in most schools so sometimes social media platforms are the biggest way people learn unless someone they know, or the person goes through it themselves
