Thank you for sharing your article on coercive control. As a middle-aged tall white male of European background, I've often felt that I should remain silent amidst the #MeToo movement and discussions on inequality. While I agree that minorities face greater challenges, the push to eliminate these issues sometimes feels counterproductive and discriminatory towards people like me.
A few weeks ago, I told my partner, who is a narcissist, that I wanted a separation. I would have left long ago, but we have two young boys. She is controlling and manipulative; whether it's coercive control or not, it's challenging to prove. She recently took "her" car away from me, accusing me of ruining it. I wrote about this incident in my latest post, which you might find interesting.
My lawyer advised me to be extremely cautious, especially with the recent focus on violence against women. As a tall, white, German man, I find myself under general suspicion from the outset.
Thank you for raising a voice for people in situations like mine. Your work is incredibly important and much appreciated.
