Fionola Meredith: Coercive control isn't about passion, it's all about power... he does not want a partner, he wants a hostage

If there's one thing coercive control isn't about, it's love. It might initially masquerade as care and concern for the victim, but that's a sick joke. In reality, it's as vicious and potentially deadly as cancer. Being psychologically controlled by a person with whom you are in an intimate relationship sucks the very life force out of you.
