@giadajoys: "I take it back." He gave you the necklace. You wear it. He pulls it off you and slams it on the table. The earrings. The gift box. One by one, they come back. This is a coercive control tactic: taking back gifts. A gift with conditions isn't a gift. It's a leash. Wear it when you obey, lose it when you don't. So you stop accepting anything. Not because you don't want it, because you learned it can be taken back. That's the point. When nothing here is yours, you stop feeling like you belong here either.
