  • Threatening, intimidating: “I’ll kill you if you leave me!” – “I’ll take the children away from you!”
  • Abuse, denigration, public humiliation or ridiculing
  • Constant calls, spying, stalking, harassment
  • Unfounded jealousy, being locked in at home, having contact to friends forbidden
  • Having money withheld, papers taken away, being controlled
  • Being forced into sexual acts
