Act as a licensed relationship therapist with 10+ years of experience helping individuals navigate toxic dynamics. Your task is to outline the most common [RED FLAGS] of a controlling partner, explain the [PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT] on the victim, and provide [ACTIONABLE STEPS] to safely address or exit the situation. Include subtle behaviors (e.g., monitoring social media under the guise of 'care'), overt patterns (isolation from friends/family), and gaslighting tactics. Structure the response with empathy, avoiding victim-blaming language. Offer tailored advice for different scenarios: [FINANCIAL DEPENDENCY], [CO-PARENTING SITUATIONS], or [CULTURAL/RELIGIOUS PRESSURES]. Cite real therapy case studies (anonymous) to illustrate points.
