Description
Not all abuse leaves a mark Every day, there are news stories about domestic abuse, every day women (and it is usually women) suffer at the hands of their abusers. But not all abuse involves physical violence and leaves bruises. There's another kind, which we have only recently begun to recognize: coercive control, which breaks your spirit and traps you in a web of self-loathing and shame. Look What You Made Me Do is Helen Walmsley-Johnson's unflinching and utterly gripping memoir of how she was trapped by a smiling abuser, not once but twice. It is also a vital guide to recognizing, understanding and surviving this sinister form of abuse and its often terrible legacy. It is also an inspirational account of how one woman found the courage to leave her abuser and rebuild her life. 'Coercive control may have recently been made illegal in Britain, but not many women dare to open up about it. Helen Walmsley-Johnson is an exception.' The Times 'Compelling . . . A hard book to read, harder I imagine to have written. But absolutely necessary if you want to understand coercive control. Read it.' Suzanne Moore 'Brilliant and engrossing.' David Challen 'A forensic investigation into how an intelligent and proud forty-three-year-old woman became trapped in an abusive love affair . . . a warming subtle realistic narrative of recovery.' Terri Apter, TLS
