Victimhood and Those Helpful Verbal Abuse Books These verbal abuse books gave me the words, the vocabulary, I needed to make sense of the nonsense in my marriage. Until I read books by Patricia Evans, Lundy Bancroft and others. He didn't hit me, so how could he abuse me? The word abuse never entered my mind. I knew I was in a bad relationship, but I didn't understand that my husband abused me.

I didn't know anything about brainwashing, gaslighting, verbal or emotional abuse. One of the reasons victims of domestic violence and abuse take so long to leave their relationships is that no one teaches young people the vocabulary of abuse. Verbal Abuse Books Teach the Vocabulary of Abuse But more importantly, the verbal abuse books taught me the vocabulary of abuse so I could finally describe what was happening to me. The verbal abuse books taught me that my husband was wrong. He said I was inept and out of touch with reality. My abusive husband had almost convinced me that every problem in our marriage was my fault. I felt relief because up until I read the library of verbal abuse books available, I thought that I was losing my mind.
