Coercive control is the creation of a system, typically one filled with fear, mistrust, exhaustion, double standards. Perpetrators of #coercivecontrol don't parent, they counter-parent, they undermine and sabotage the relationship the child has with the protective parent.

It’s utterly awful that research I read shows that more often than not children will be present when their mother is killed. These homicides are totally selfish and planned with no regard for children. Yet we still fail to see how dangerous these abusers are.
