Just finishing reading “The Verbally Abusive Relationship” by Patricia Evans

I want to suggest we consider adding it to the recommended list of books. It’s very clear and precise with specific examples of verbal abuse, even the more subtle kinds.

What I appreciated most were the lists of responses to all kinds of verbal abuse and the explanation that no, these men are not ok. They really are living in a completely different reality. I would have saved myself years of heartache had I internalized this book earlier. I could have spotted him in probably 3 dates.

It’s very much in line with FDS imo-and outlines very subtle forms of verbal abuse that I didn’t even recognize as such.
