Description
This book is a powerful and candid guide for individuals navigating verbally abusive relationships, giving voice to the survivors themselves. Written by bestselling author Patricia Evans, the book uses hundreds of letters and interviews from real people to provide a clear and validating picture of what verbal abuse is from the victim’s point of view. It analyzes various forms of abuse, such as abusive anger, denial, and criticism, and explains how this type of abuse can systematically erode a person’s self-esteem, often with more lasting impact than physical violence. Beyond identifying the problem, the book offers practical advice, healing strategies, and resources such as shelters and support groups to help survivors find a path to recovery and reclaim their lives. It is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand, escape, or heal from the devastating effects of verbal abuse.
