About this ebook
The devastation of a controlling relationship has to be endured to be believed.
From the constant fear of upsetting your spouse, the walking on eggshells in case you've done or said something wrong, or the relentless feeling of anxiety, a controlling partner will beat you down until you no longer recognize yourself.
Coercive control will see an abuser dominate their victim's life; from the food they eat, the people they see, the places they can go and the things they can say. A controlling partner, through fear and intimidation, will seek to ensure their victim is subdued, to the point of accepting any and all abuse that's fired their way. By manipulation, gaslighting, lies, and hurtful insults, the abuser will make their victim a willing puppet on a string, ready to be utilized how the controlling spouse sees fit.
Coercive control is seldom talked about in comparison to other forms of abuse, yet it's so commonplace in relationships. Plenty of victims of this type of behavior may not even be aware that it's full-blown abuse. Many more see controlling behavior as their partner's way of showing they 'care'. In order to shed light on this topic, and reach out to those who need help in understanding and overcoming a controlling partner, I have created this book as their starting point.
I was shackled to a malignant narcissist for many years of my life, being controlled and manipulated, day-in, day-out.
As a proud survivor of abuse, I feel obligated to help others in their journey toward getting their power back and recovering from the cruel effects of an abusive relationship. This book will cover the following:
- what coercive control is
- the devastating effects of a controlling relationship
- financial coercion
- breaking the spell of abuse
- coercive control after separating
I use my own experiences, as well as those of the survivors I've connected with via Escape the Narcissist, to help piece together the things you need to know about this type of abusive relationship.
Together, we will reclaim our power.
