Abstract:  Why didn't she leave? The myriad micro-wounds of coercive control usually go unspoken. Shame, love, loyalty and fear guarantees victim silence. When abuse escalates and official domestic violence reports are made, our system for protection actually encourages abusers, by embedding that silence. Until now. Lexi's journey of coercive control and how it escalates is harrowing. The frightening ease of 'obnoxious and controlling' escalating to life-threatening and the futility of asking for help. This level of bravery should never be required inside your own home. Surviving reveals what's unfolding for Lexi and thousands of others like her, right now. So common it might be your story, your sister's, your daughter's. This ground-breaking, deeply personal account of the daily reality of domestic violence, Surviving is essential reading. -- Publisher.
