Book recommendations

[Daisy Fairydust]

Hi there
I’m out a wee while now, we’re safe in refuge at the moment. I’m wondering if anyone can recommend any books to read to help with the healing process.

Thank you

Hi Fairydust, one of the other ladies recommended Why Does He Do That by Lundy Bancroft to me recently, and I have found it incredibly helpful. It really validated my experiences and made me feel much less alone. Everything started to make sense after reading it.

I also found Power by Shahida Arabi helpful to my situation.

I am quite new so I am sure other ladies will have more suggestions.

Well done for taking the step and I am glad you are safe. Hugs x

Thank you @lifeinterrupted.
Kids and I are just trying to adjust to our new way of living. We’ve been doing ok but couple of wee obstacles this week so I’ve been a bit all over the place, with yesterday being quite a tough day. What I find difficult is friends seem to have abandoned me, stopped asking how I’m doing, especially as I’ve taken a step back in some of our group chats. There’s just a lack of understanding I think.
This is a great place for support, massive well done to you for reaching out on here. Domestic abuse leaves your head in a lonely old place even when you’re surrounded by friends and family that don’t know what you’re going through.
Stay safe.
Xx

Hi my beautiful angel … Daisy Fairydust (I love your username)
I always recommend Louise Hay … You Can Heal Your Life, you can read it or it is available on audible.
As much as it is a good thing to have some knowledge on abusers … I think, why waste your time reading about them when you could be learning about and healing yourself!
Lovely to hear you are safe now
Sending you love and support
