Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Ann Silvers, on air from January 11th
Men can be on the receiving end of an abusive relationship! It could be from an emotionally abusive girlfriend, a physically abusive wife, or a female partner who is demanding, controlling, manipulative or bullying using any of the 7 forms of partner or spousal abuse.
This groundbreaking book shatters the silence surrounding partner abuse where the target of the abuse is a man, and the source of the abuse is a woman. It challenges the common perception that domestic violence and other types of partner abuse only happen to women.
Counselor and relationship coach, Ann Silvers, M.A., questions the cultural trend to ignore, condone, laugh at, or even applaud women treating men in ways that would be rightfully condemned if the genders were reversed.
Her unique perspective as a woman who herself was the target of partner abuse by a man, and who also recognizes that there are abusive women and abused men, has resulted in a book that is a cultural game changer.
