What happens when love is weaponized? This panel dives into the psychological and financial tactics abusers use to manipulate, isolate, and dominate their partners — all under the guise of care, concern, or romance. We’ll examine the lived realities of coercive control, the warning signs often missed, and the cultural myths that keep survivors silent. Through personal stories and expert insights, this discussion will confront the complex and painful ways control is exerted in intimate relationships — and how we begin to name and dismantle it.
