Can anyone recommend a book that shows a man escaping from a controlling relationship in a healthy way? I would like to gift my sibling a book that covertly shows him that his partner’s behavior is emotionally abusive (he doesn’t see it that way, or at least won’t acknowledge it). He has a pattern of picking toxic partners, but his current relationship is the worst yet- he’s been isolated from everyone and thinks it’s totally normal that his partner now works at the same facility as him. They spend every waking second together. He only calls when they’re not around. As you can probably gather from my word choice, his partner doesn’t identify as a woman, but that’s a whole other can of worms. I think a book about any toxic relationship would still get the point across- so it’s okay if it’s about a parent, friend or partner. Thanks for your help!

*eta: if you can get the audiobooks, the ones read by Barbara Rosenblat are especially good
Amelia Peabody is my absolute fave. I reread the whole series about once a year. And yes the Audiobooks by Rosenblatt are the best!
