Arrest for coercive control

[Epiphany52]

My sister had her exboyfriend arrested for coercive control last night (thank goodness)
Police are going to call me. I’ve never met him (the befriend) as I live to far away.
But we have spoken often by text message and phone.
Anything specific I should emphasize? She is very frightened of him but they also have a weird dynamic.
I’ve wanted here to leave for ages. In the back of my mind there’s always been this fear he would kill her. He’s hurt her once before and she called the police but now she has left.
Thank you.

I'm going through this with my ex atm, they know what questions to ask so just tell as much as you can if you try to emphasise one thing you may inadvertently miss another.
Tell them what you felt though.

Thank you. It’s such a relief she is safe.

epiphany sorry to say but she is far from safe - the point at which people first leave is often the most dangerous.She needs to make sure she has everything in place to ensure her safety now she’s left

Yes, sadly she's at her most vulnerable now.

Agree that the police will know what to ask, but would it help you to have a sit down and write down and/or print out a list of everything you know, all the messages you've had from her, etc.

The weird dynamic you mention i totally relate to. I suspect she is co dependent on him. This is what often happens in these kind of relationships, in spite of how he is towards her he has made her believe she needs him.
Their is also a massive power in balance, towards him. Its amazing the mind games someone can play and the effect it has on someone over time. Good luck

She is a couple of hours drive away in a safe place.
Thank you for the suggestions!
