‘I was very fearful of my parents’: new research shows how parents can use coercive control on their children

"In Australia, there is growing recognition that children and young people are
not just witnesses to domestic, family and sexual violence, but
victim-survivors in their own right.

While we are getting better at understanding how coercive control operates in
adult relationships – particularly where men use it against women – much less
attention has been given to how children experience this kind of abuse,
especially when it comes from a parent or caregiver.

New research interviewing teenage victim-survivors reveals how parents can
coercively control their children under the guise of parental discipline."
