Hello! New here. Just wanted to say yes, I went through physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. My father was the one who emotionally abused me. Nowadays when something happens, I have a flashback (which a lot of them are about my father), etc., I'm told so often to "get over it and grow up." It isn't that easy. It's a wound and wounds take time to heal, especially when you haven't actually dealt with that wound in a long time (in my case, over 10+ years). In my case, I am lucky though, because my mother and brother both endured it with me, so they had no reason to deny it.

Anyway, I don't know of any books on emotional abuse. I think one would be very welcome!
