Survivor | Police officer relationship

I was a new police officer and was drawn into a relationship with a married officer who trained me. He coercively controlled me. Mentally and emotionally abused me. Isolated me. Financially abused me.

I couldn’t report it because he had made sure our colleagues hated me and I wouldn’t have been believed.
