What happens when abuse leaves no bruises?
In this episode of Sue Me Later, Hayder Shkara sits down with family lawyer Amy Pattle to discuss coercive control, one of the most misunderstood and difficult forms of domestic and family violence.
Coercive control often occurs behind closed doors and can involve manipulation, isolation, intimidation, monitoring, financial control, emotional abuse, and patterns of behaviour designed to dominate another person.
We discuss:
• What coercive control actually is
• Common warning signs and red flags
• How coercive control appears in family law matters
• The impact on victims and children
• Evidence and challenges in proving coercive control
• Recent legal developments in Australia
• What to do if you believe you or someone you know is experiencing coercive control
Whether you're navigating separation, supporting a loved one, or simply wanting to better understand this important issue, this episode provides practical insights into a topic affecting thousands of Australians.
