One moment you’re wrapped in your lover’s embrace. In another, you’re undone by your lover’s cruel, degrading insults. Then it’s all explained away as an overreaction on your part, a story in your mind to ponder while your hair is tenderly stroked and gentle words explain and soothe. Soon the degrading words strike again, and again, but each time their damage is denied.This is the invisible fight of emotional abuse. There’s no bruise, no visible injury, and no sign to outsiders that you endure insults and threats once the door closes and you’re alone with your partner. Kristin Manser has lived this nightmare where she was both deeply in love and cruelly betrayed by the person who professed to love her the most. The Invisible Bruise shares Kristin’s story so that victims and advocates can better understand how emotionally healthy people can end up in verbally abusive and manipulative relationships, how to spot the signs of abuse, and how to break free from the control and despair of emotional abuse. #paperback#selfhelp#abuse#psychology#health#victim#bookscoffeelove
