Scenario 1

Dear Sir or Madam, please take a few minutes of your time to complete the following questionnaire.

Secured

Imagine yourself in the following situation:

Your spouse has been different with you since you got married. They have been belittling you, pulling you down and gaslighting you. They have isolated you from your friends and family. On one occasion, they coerce you into having sex with them, but you don’t want to, and they force you to take your clothes off so they can take pictures of you. One day, when you decide you want to leave the marriage and confront them, they start screaming at you, insulting your mental health and saying you’ll never get better- they scream in your face and then make threats with their fist, saying they could make your life so much worse.
