My advice is to gather and document everything, including

• Keeping a detailed diary or journal

• Save all your digital communication

• Document financial control

• Provide physical evidence

• Obtain witness statements

• Collect medical and psychological reports demonstrating a pattern of behaviour even in the current climate

• Focus on the “course of conduct”

• Arrange chronologically to demonstrate the Abuser’s Intent

• Prove the intent to control

• Use actions, words, and circumstances to identify the impact on yourself.

• Explain the severe adverse impact.

• Focus on frequency and impact. Educate yourself on the legal framework.

• Do not be afraid to seek legal advice

• Report to the police

• Present your evidence in court

Make a start, and the end will follow
