Books about Abuse

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for book suggestions, specifically about telling parents about abuse (preferably telling about child sexual abuse as an adult) and not being believed, being accused of having false memories, etc. There are lots of books about abuse recovery in general, and a few good ones about repressed and recovered memories, but none that really touch on this particular aspect.

Please let me know if you know of any resources, or if you want book recommendations!

Hi, @DeniseB

In these threads, people have included books about sexual abuse, among other books:

What are you reading? (includes fiction and non-fiction)

Books and poems addressing dating violence

In addition, there are some good materials listed here, including a report called Break the Cycle: LOVE IS NOT ABUSE.
