He wanted to do MORE than just buy me a cake, which is what he said everyone did.
He wanted to MAKE me a cake. For my birthday.

He didn’t even own a wooden spoon, a spatula, a mixing bowl or cake tins.

The trouble with #coercivecontrol is that I didn’t recognise the red flags 🚩🚩right at the start.

I didn’t recognise the earliest signs of control- like him telling me I don’t need to drink coffee because it wasn’t good for me.

I didn’t recognise it as a red flag when he told me he wasn’t close to his kids and felt closer to mine and loved them so much more.
I only saw that he thought my kids were amazing- not that he was disparaging of his.
