The dynamics of abuse, including coercive control and gaslighting, can make it difficult or impossible for victims to recognise their risk or escape.
Coercive control manipulates victims into feeling responsible for their abuser's emotional state, causing them to believe they must 'rescue' the abuser, deepening their entrapment.
Threats of suicide or harm are common tactics used by abusers, which further entrap the victim, making the decision to leave feel perilous and impossible.
The total domination across financial, social, and household matters is indicative of coercive control, highlighting why victims often remain in abusive relationships.
