• Sexual abuse — pressuring, coercing, or forcing sexual contact or ignoring your boundaries
• Technology abuse — monitoring your phone, tracking your location, demanding passwords, or controlling who you communicate with
• Isolation — keeping you away from friends, family, coworkers, or other sources of support
• Stalking — repeatedly following, watching, contacting, tracking, or showing up in ways that make you feel unsafe
• Coercive control — using rules, threats, intimidation, or manipulation to control your everyday choices
• Threats involving children, pets, or loved ones — using the people or animals you care about to frighten or control you
• Property destruction — punching walls, breaking belongings, damaging your car, or destroying things that matter to you
