TW- Emotional Abuse 🖤

This is what coercion can look like: threatening money/housing, tearing down your character, and then saying your feelings don’t matter. I used to argue back. Today I choose boundaries and self-respect.

If you’re in this cycle: you’re not crazy, you’re not unworthy, and you don’t have to prove your value to someone who benefits from you doubting it. 💙 #CoerciveControl #EmotionalAbuse #DocumentYourStory #Survivor #Boundaries
