How Do I Prove Coercive Control? The Evidence That Actually Counts

You know it was abuse. But written down, each moment sounds small. This is the episode about proving it.

Part 5 of our six-part coercive control series with clinical psychologist Krasi Kirova. Mum and I work through your questions on affidavits, evidence, police reports and what the family court is actually looking for.
