I have a ton of respect for Bancroft, and I think the book might help you with ways to talk about what's going on.
Thanks for the recommendation! I've certainly heard of Lundy Bancroft in connection with his advocacy for women who have experienced domestic violence - never imagined that his work might be relevant to me. (Add that to the long list of "I never imagined that ...").
