Fantastic book about putting "bones" on psychological abuse - common characteristics, giving words to the ways to describe it, and starting the process of putting up boundaries and discerning limited contact v. no contact, and learning to thrive again after abuse. There are resources and journal prompts in the back, too. This book is really a fantastic resource!

Recommended both to those who have been abused in this way (you aren't crazy) and those who want to understand friends who have been hurt in this way. There's content in here for all of us.

This is not the end. You have a wonderful life ahead of you!

pairings: boundaries, changes that heal, secrets of your family tree
