I am looking for blogs, collections of short stories and novels either fiction, or nonfiction that entail how one has survived and tell the tale of life after emotional and psychological abuse. I have read endless Buzzfeed Lists and Psychology Today articles, and ideally would like to find something with more substance that reads less like a therapists notes and more like a memoir.
A little background: I grew up in an abusive home where I experienced nearly all forms of abuse. Not surprisingly, I have repeatedly found myself in abusive relationships as an adult. Most have been emotionally and psychologically abusive, though my ex-husband did hit me once or twice. My last relationship, was an on again and off again relationship lasting more than a year that recently ended. Upon reflection, I have come to realize it too was abusive as I can pinpoint very specific and repeated examples of gaslighting and intimidation that at the time seemed innocuous.
Thank you in advance.
