Have you left a relationship with a coercive controller?

• Is your child going between your home and the home of the coercive controller? What can you do about it, and how can you manage it both personally and in the court?
• Is your child exhibiting fear? Look for the hidden signs manifested in sadness, anger, high-achieving, or dissociating.

These are some of the areas we talk about today in the Modern Divorce Podcast featuring Billie Tarascio and Dr. Christine Cocchiola, LCSW, DWS, a coercive control educator and social justice advocate.
