Isolating You From Friends and Family
Starts subtle — "I'm not comfortable around your friends." Ends with control.
Beware a partner who systematically tries to isolate you from friends and family, often beginning subtly with comments about being uncomfortable around your social circle. The National Domestic Violence Hotline identifies this as one of the most reliable early indicators of abuse. During the COVID-19 pandemic, calls surged, with over 23,000 contacts citing forced isolation. Unlike typical relationship adjustments, a controlling partner seeks to be your entire life, while a healthy one supports your full life.
