I just wanted to second the reading recommendation. Recently started reading it and wow, it is good.

  Thirding it. I have been near several abusive relationships in my life and it really opened my eyes to the power dynamics that were invisible from the outside.

    For sure. And it's not just useful to me in a domestic context. I once got a new boss. After my second meeting with him, during which he spent most of it berating me, I thought, "That sounds familiar." So I got out my copy, turned to the chapter on abuser subtypes, and saw that he had already hit most of the checklist for the "Mr Right" abuser type. It was very helpful to know what I was caught up in; otherwise I could have easily blamed myself or just felt at sea.
