The Verbally Abusive Relationship by Patricia Evans saved my life, and I highly recommend it. I stayed for 31 years, and then found the courage to leave. 1 in 3 women will be physically assaulted and it all begins with verbal assault.

He sees you as an extension of himself (perhaps); abusers don't see others as separate.....and are excruciatingly insecure.

P.S. I am 68 and eternally blonde!!
