This is an amazing book and I think every woman should read it before venturing out into the world of dating. Especially if she suffered from or saw any type of abuse in her childhood. But also even if she didn't. Our world is getting more and more complicated and men are finding new and different ways to be abusive. Many men have found ways to hurt us without us recognizing that we are being abused. They do it in such a way that you end up feeling confused and wondering if what's going on is your fault. Many of us still think of domestic violence as hitting and yelling. I am discovering that abuse is less about what the man actually does and more about how we feel within the relationship. If we are feeling confused, unsafe, inconsistently loved, unsettled, insecure, afraid but unsure of why, something is probably wrong.
This book gives insight into how an abusive man thinks and operates and explains the many tactics he uses to dominate a woman and steal her peace and happiness.
