Book Cover & Preview Text
"I had been brow beaten so much that I had no faith in myself. I felt totally worthless. Yes, I wanted out, but I felt hopeless to the point that I got the mind-set that I wasn't worth saving. I think the worst feeling was knowing I was an adult and treated less than an animal. I was watching and waiting for the right time to leave. I know, "If they hit you once that's too much." Abused people often feel that it's their fault or that they deserve it. Wrong! One their famous lines is " I wouldn't do this if you didn't make me." The abuser has to take dominance so they can feel superior. See there are millions of people going through this everyday and they're hiding in their shame and putting up with this abuse because they are afraid of anyone else knowing, still felling somehow it's their fault. Abusing seems to be a learned behavior that keeps on the same pattern from relationship to relationship until they seek out help. I know that all change isn't bad it's a sign as we mature, but if they're trying to fit you in some kind of image or mold they desire, they should just date themselves. The shame level is so high and trusts level so low. I got really good at saying I fell down the stairs or I ran into the door knob time and time again, and many seemed to believe it or just didn't want to know. If someone you know is going through this, hold them, emotionally support them and most of all show them that REAL LOVE does not hurt you. God was there the whole time. he never walked away from me. I was the one searching elsewhere when the answer was with me the whole time.

About the Book
This is a book on codependency and how to stop the cycle of violence. I give the Red Flags that you need to watch out for, like isolation and monitoring, to name a few. I give advice that God is the only refuge to save you and your family from this tragedy. This is an honest look at the shame that people get in the midst of it all. Many are afraid to talk about what is really going on behind the doors. There are so many long term effects emotionally that you can't see that comes out later. It is important that you seek professional help. This is a growing problem that won't go away without God or counselors. The innocent children suffer the most, and if not helped they will grow up and repeat the cycle.
