@thegettingoutguide: Abuse doesn't require a shared address. Control, manipulation, intimidation, constant monitoring, emotional pressure, and financial abuse can all happen when two people live separately. What matters isn't where you live. It's whether someone is using patterns of behaviour to gain power and control over your life. Many people dismiss the signs because they think, "We don't even live together." But abuse is about the dynamics of the relationship, not the living arrangement. #abuseawareness #coercivecontrol #emotionalabuse #domesticviolenceawareness #thegettingoutguide
