I'm writing a novel about a young woman who finds herself in a relationship with a very charming, very controlling emotionally abusive man. Of course, the man is lovely, at first, but she sees more and more hints of his nastiness but she's far too far in love, and he's damaged her self-esteem far too much for her to leave by the time he's behaving really badly.
I have got to a point where I need to know more about how emotional abuse develops and I'm hoping that some feminists will have a good idea about what books/websites to read!
