Download Look What You Made Me Do: A Powerful Memoir of Coercive Control AudioBook Free
For more than two years, BBC Radio 4's The Archers ran a troubling story centred on Helen Tichener's mistreatment as a result of her spouse Rob. Not the kind of mistreatment that leaves a bruise, but the type of coercive control that breaks your nature and helps it be almost impossible to walk away. As she listened to the unfolding story, Helen Walmsley-Johnson was required to confront her own agonising former. Helen's first spouse handled her life, from people she saw to what was at her bank account. He alienated her from relatives and buddies, and even using their company three daughters. Eventually, he threw her away and she painfully commenced to restore her life. Then, divorced and in her early 40s, she met Franc. Kind, captivating, considerate Franc. For a decade she would be in his thrall, even though he too was sharing with her what things to wear, what things to eat, even what things to think. Look What You Made Me Do is her candid and absolutely gripping memoir of how she was trapped by way of a smiling abuser, not once but twice. It is a vital guide to recognising, understanding and making it through this sinister form of mistreatment and its own often dreadful legacy. It is also an inspirational bill of how one female found the courage to walk away.
