I hope that this book helps you and your spouse recover and rebuild the life that was rightfully due both of you; the life that was stolen years ago by an abuser. I know it can be done because I did it, and you can as well with the help of concerned and capable mental health professionals and resources like this book. This book will help both survivors and their spouses understand and confront the myriad issues that a survivor must navigate to establish and maintain a loving relationship with themselves and with a partner.
