💚 Power and control can be hard to recognise—especially when it doesn’t look like physical violence.
It might feel like you’re walking on eggshells, sound like “you made me do it,” or look like someone checking your phone, controlling who you see or pressuring you into things you don’t want to do.
Healthy relationships should feel safe, equal and respectful. You have the right to set boundaries, say no and spend time with the people you care about.
