This and other excellent spiritual abuse titles have been discussed on the forum.

I just want to advise you this: get yourself the book 'the subtle power of spiritual abuse'. Put it in your recipe holder, or device stand and put it by your stove, and read even just one paragraph a day while you are waiting for something to grill, or stirring the pasta in the pot etc.

You will be gripped by this book, I feel sure of that. Even if your brain is exhausted, you can mull over till the next chance you get to read a bit more . Only if it triggers unbearable pain or anger in you, that could be a reason to stop and look for another plan, which unfortunately, likely.

I am of the opinion that this comes ahead of reading Christian apologetics, as seperating what you experienced from 'health' is the first step. Then studying what Christianity should be will be much more clear to understand. That's just my two cents worth. I hope it helps. Short spurts of the book may help you process the contents as you go. There is a lot to take in.

Maybe you can then think about and process it all alongside parental activities... another multitasking exercise I know!!

I understand this is a question for Trapped, and he may have better advice for you on it's way.
