Writer's name

I apologise in advance that I can not use my real name for this blog. The simple reason being I wish to protect the identity of innocent people, namely my children besides others. I believe the issues I will discuss can help others, which is my biggest desire - but confidentiality is my priority, so if my blogs seem vague with respect to names and areas, it is deliberate.
I have nothing to hide, no hidden secrets.

'Living with the Dominator'

'Living with the Dominator' by Pat Craven is a fantastic book for anyone who wants to understand about domestic violence. It is full of illustrations and helps us to laugh as well as to cry.

Pat identified 8 different types of abusers and they do overlap. They are:

1 The Sexual Controller
2 King of the Castle
3 The Bad father
4 The Liar
5 The Persuader
6 The Headworker
7 The Jailer
8 The Bully

I would advise anyone to buy this book and there are refreshing looks at what an ideal partner should be like and stories to illustrate the points made.

The book is available from Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Living-Dominator-About-Freedom-Programme/dp/0955882702/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1284819787&sr=1-1

Pat is a very professional approachable lady and I owe her alot of thanks for all the work she has done. Her webpage is well worth a visit:
