: The painful reality of covert verbal and emotional abuse in a marriage from the perspective of a wife who got out and the plan that empowered her to leave

by Jennifer Free

In Things My Husband Said, author Jennifer Free outlines the painful reality of covert verbal and emotional abuse in a marriage and the detailed plan she developed over several years that ultimately empowered her to safely leave while maintaining primary physical custody of her daughter without a lengthy legal battle. This important work:

• Shines a necessary spotlight on marital abuse that does not leave physical bruises – but still causes harm – by sharing the ugly covert verbal abuse Free endured for years, one raw line at a time.
• Includes the detailed plan Free developed to safely leave with her daughter.
• Speaks to and validates the pain of those victims who are still in abusive marriages as well as those who have been able to escape.
• Serves as necessary required reading in continuing education programs for Family Court professionals and victim advocates.
