Long story short, I would love some recs on this topic because I know a man who I believe is in, if not an abusive relationship, than at the very least a toxic and detrimental one.
A friend of mine suggested “The Verbally Abusive Relationship” by Patricia Evans. It’s a good rec, but it mainly uses female pronouns for the victim. This is based on the stats, of course, but the man I know is over 70, and I think he would respond better to something that would be easier for him to connect with.
Patricia Evans has another book about dealing with controlling people. I’m considering that one as well, but from what I can glean, it’s more about non-romantic relationships. If anyone has read it, I would love your thoughts.
