Domestic Relationships

"Hvorfor går du ikke bare?" er den typiske reaktion, når ofre for psykisk partnervold fortæller, hvad de er udsat for.

Hun giver et indblik i, hvordan en krænker tænker, føler og agerer, og hun guider læseren igennem den labyrint af kontrollerende og manipulerende voldsmetoder, som krænkeren benytter sig af.

Kristopher was the type of man any woman hoped to fall in love with. Intelligent, charming, and worldly—everyone loved him. Yet, his definition of love was a far cry from the idealistic vision he painted. Behind closed doors, his behavior was erratic—from loving and kind to distant and cruel. Repeatedly, I ignored the voice in my head that told me to walk away now. Tangled in the web he systematically spun, I questioned everything I thought and did; I no longer knew who I was or what I was capable of.
