Love ≠ Control.  \nDomestic and family violence is not always physical violence, it can take many forms including coercive control. Coercive control is a pattern of behaviours (which can be both physical and non-physical) perpetrated against a person to create a climate of fear, isolation, intimidation and humiliation*.  \nIt might make you feel unsafe, scared, threatened, or like you are walking on eggshells. Over time, this behaviour can have a devastating impact on your autonomy, independence, personal wellbeing and safety.  \nAll forms of abuse are serious and never acceptable.  \nWho can be impacted?  \nDomestic and family violence and coercive control can impact anyone. It can occur in romantic and intimate partner relationships, between family members, or in informal care relationships.  \nIt can impact anyone regardless of age, ability, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender or location.  \nWhilst coercive control can appear in all types of relationships, this fact sheet explores the behaviours that appear in intimate partner relationships.  \nHow coercive control can start  \nIt’s not always easy to tell if a new relationship will become abusive as warning signs don’t always appear immediately and may emerge and intensify over time as the relationship grows. However, there can be some early warning signs.  \nLove bombing can be an early warning sign, grooming you with overwhelming and unwavering attention, gifts, flattery and promises of commitment very early in a relationship, which can often make you feel special, loved and valuable‡.  \nAs the new relationship progresses, an abuser can be intensely persistent, or may seek to take the relationship into more serious stages, such as moving in together or getting married within the first few weeks or months. This quick acceleration of romance seeks to break down a person’s barriers and is known as commitment whirlwind.  \nWhat might at first seem like romantic gestures, can start to be seen as warning signs or red flags if the abuser:  \n• demands to see partner multiple times a week and wants their full attention  \n• gets annoyed or makes their partner feel guilty when they make plans with family, friends or other people  \n• disrespects boundaries and turns up at places uninvited when their partner is out with family, friends or other people  \n• phones their partner constantly or sends multiple text messages while they are out with family, friends or other people  \nLove bombing ensures the abuser has control over your emotions and thoughts, and serves as a starting point for manipulation and the cycle of abuse†.  \nCoercive and other controlling behaviours  \nNo two experiences of domestic and family violence are exactly the same, and some tactics and behaviours that may appear in one relationship, will not always appear in others.  \nWhile the complexities of coercive control can never be summarised completely, the Power and Control Wheel (figure 1) can present useful insight to the more common and known behaviours.  \nFigure 1: Power and Control Wheel co-created by Ellen Pence and Michael Paymar (Domestic Abuse Intervention Project in Duluth, MN) and reproduced with approval from the Allison Baden-Clay Foundation.  \nIsolation  \nAn abuser will try to cut their partner off from friends and family or limit contact, so that they don’t receive the support they need. In an abusive relationship, the abuser might constantly accuse their partner of cheating on them to make the victim feel guilty about going out to see other people in order to isolate and reduce their contact with others outside the home.
