The Bright Sky app and website helps anyone concerned about domestic violence access resources and find a safe path to support.
What is Coercive Control?
Many people don’t recognize certain behaviors as domestic violence. They are made to feel that their partner is acting out of love or care, which can make it difficult for a person to recognize warning signs or safely leave a relationship. Coercive control is a commonly misunderstood form of domestic violence that makes you feel like you have no choice but to act the way the person doing the coercion wants. Not because you are being directly forced to do what they want, but because you feel like you “had to” or “couldn’t” do something out of fear of what they say or do to you or around you. Manipulation, blackmail, and bullying are all examples of coercion. One comment or action on its own may seem okay, but if it continues to happen over time, the behavior becomes coercive control.
