The government defines controlling or coercive behaviour as the acts designed to make a person feel inferior and/or dependent by keeping them apart from friends, help and support. It can include taking advantage of their money and things they have, stopping their independence, and controlling what they want to do. Someone subjected to this may feel isolated, trapped and deprived of independence.
