Thanks, its close, is it sufficient enough to convey that intension?
Coercion is the practice of forcing another party to act in an involuntary manner by use of threats or force.

that close too
Codependency
Codependency is a behavioral condition in a relationship where one person enables another person’s addiction, poor mental health, immaturity, irresponsibility, or under-achievement. Among the core characteristics of codependency is an excessive reliance on other people for approval and a sense of identity.
I’m developing a very low opinion of the thesaurus right now. For example it fails to believe that the word “ova” is plural.

Yes it is abusive in that emotional violence is being used.
i’d need some information about the nature of the relationship, but of an old idea of variously work and subordination (often involving debt or some type of maybe perceived indebtedness), the word bondage comes to mind, bonded labour perhaps, i’d need look it up to be sure
of the more general possibilities you may be referring, you may need consider various parties attribute and project a view, have responses and reactions, framing and contributing to the dynamic if you will, those reactions and ideas (or lack of helpful ones) feed into the dynamic
maybe, to establish there really an imposing force, overly imposing, pathologically imposing, you’d need establish adverse distortions in (whatever examples) psychological operating space, that were substantially persistent, though enthusiasm to establish them could make them more so, realer, when the reality maybe a softer adaptive, or creative response could neutralize them, make them less so, even non-existent in any significant negative way
people are in forced relationships with all sorts really, not many people avoid being in a forced relationship with money for example, or breathable air, or gravity, or the workings of their own minds
cradle to grave people are in forced relationships with all sorts
most people carve out and maintain some unshared aspects of relationships, importantly, which really is divergent differentiation, could be seen as, a significant part of individuation maybe
a person can’t avoid relationships of some sort with many things, all that is possible is that it’s different (amongst sameness/kindredness) of course, that I gets fair expression, space, operating space
right off the bat a person doesn’t get much choice, of, they have to be something, it’s necessary
so a personality needs some force, some of the time at least, and relationships need some force, even if it’s a force that doesn’t result in much at all
i’m thinking if you keep the possibility open of taking that last letter off forced, that force isn’t perhaps universally bad
I have a relationship with gravity for example
Domineering
Overbearing
