Maxine’s Reviews > Trauma and Recovery: The Aftermath of Violence--from Domestic Abuse to Political Terror > Status Update

This is a very difficult book to read. Reading a couple pages at a time is all I can manage. It’s splits my heart open wide to read these examples of abuse and captivity and suffering often in the name of love…in reality it is power and control. So hard to see it when you’re in it. Grateful to be on the outside of my abusive marriage and can look back and heal.
