This was probably the BEST book I read in my situation:
The Verbally Abusive Relationship by Patricia Evans.
I swear, after I finished it, I thought the woman had been looking in my
windows to write it! She was right on the money with her description of my
life. She gave some very VERY helpful advice on how to NOT fall into the same
old patterns, and gave some new responses to the old accusations.
She also wrote
Survivors Speak Out, which is a follow-up to the above book.
It was just as helpful and informative as the first.
Another great book was
Co-Dependent No More by Melody Beattie. Written from the
standpoint of the wife of an alcoholic, I found many helpful points to focus
on.
No Visible Wounds by Mary Susan Miller
This is a wonderful book. Miller is a counselor and relates her point of view
on how the court system abuses women being abused by their spouses. She also
outlines a plan to leave.
It Could Happen to Anyone: Why Battered Women Stay
by O.W. Barnett and A.D.LaViolette.
Before It's Too Late: Helping Women in Controlling or Abusive
Relationships by Robert J. Ackerman & Susan E. Pickering.
