Length2h 56m
About this audiobook
You have typed some version of "is this abuse?" into a search bar more times than you can count. There are no bruises to point to, nothing a stranger would call proof - just the sense that you are always apologizing, always walking on eggshells, and somehow always the problem. You are not imagining it, and you are not the crazy one. Is This Emotional Abuse? is a calm, safety-first guide to naming what is happening in a controlling relationship and planning a careful way out. It is not a book about money alone - a separate resource covers financial-abuse recovery - and it is not couples counseling for two people deciding together whether to rebuild. It is for the person who keeps asking whether what she is living through even counts, and who needs language, clarity, and a plan. Inside, you'll learn: Written for the person who has been told for years that she is overreacting - so she can finally name it, plan for her safety with people trained to help, and build a life that is quiet in the good way. If you are in immediate danger, call 911; for support any time, the National Domestic Violence Hotline is 1-800-799-7233.
