Coercive control, a severe form of domestic abuse, disproportionately affects the eldest child within abusive families. Techniques such as intimidation and emotional manipulation create an environment detrimental to children's development. Abusers may instill loyalty in the eldest child through coercive tactics, leading them to reject and harm their mothers, especially post-separation. The eldest child often bears the brunt of the abuser's control, suffering emotionally and exhibiting symptoms like poor academic performance. However, supportive psychotherapists and protective parents can play crucial roles in helping these children recover from trauma.
Abusers often induce eldest children to reject and abuse their moms post-separation, exacerbating the harm caused by coercive control domestic abuse.
The eldest child primarily experiences coercive control's negative impacts, including poor school performance and ADHD-like behaviors as manifestations of trauma.
