“My marriage ended four years ago after 14 years together. My ex never physically hurt me, but he was so controlling. He wouldn't let me work or have access to money. He isolated me from family and friends. He constantly criticized and belittled me. Even though the relationship is over, I'm still rebuilding my confidence. I've never felt there were consequences for what he put me through. A friend told me there may be a new legal option for people who experienced this kind of behaviour. Is that true?”
