In this book, the author takes you into a world that is more terrifying than fiction. She describes how she transformed from a strong, independent woman into a frightened, submissive creature. Finally, after years of marriage to an intimate terrorist masquerading as “Prince Charming,” she decided that this didn’t have to be her entire life. She left, licked her wounds, and took her destiny into her own hands.
Part II shines a light on possible red flags in a relationship, an abuser’s strategies, stalking, non-fatal strangulation, what bystanders and professionals can do, how a victim can leave safely, possible therapies and counseling methods, and much more. The Dutch version of this book won the Emilie van Waveren Public Award in the Netherlands.
Read this book, and you will never look at intimate partner violence the same way again!
“He didn’t hit me, so I stayed, believing that everything would work out. The time came when I no longer had the energy to leave, and I ended up staying out of fear. Only twenty years later did I gather my last vestige of courage and pull the door shut behind me for good.”
