Choice restriction
Who you see, where you go, what you say, what you spend, or whether you feel free to disagree.
Understand 03
Control can be quiet and still be serious.
Coercive control is about repeated or continuous behaviour that narrows a person's choices: isolation, surveillance, intimidation, financial pressure, dependence, humiliation, or fear.

Look for restriction over time
Fear and adaptation
You change normal behaviour to avoid a reaction. That adaptation can be as important as the incident itself.
Evidence of impact
Record what changed: sleep, work, contact with others, finances, routines, health, parenting, or ability to make decisions.

Law and guidance
01The legal test is about pattern, effect, and context.
The public page should never diagnose a person. It should help someone describe observable conduct and impact in a clean evidence format.
