She might hope that if she just sticks it out a little longer, she can figure out how to change it, fix it, make it better. She might believe that she will lose too much if she leaves, that she needs to have a partner because being alone is much worse. She might worry that she will lose her friends or alienate family members if she leaves or if she speaks up about it. And if she tries to take a stand in the relationship, the abuse could escalate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI was that girl and then I was that woman. I wrote this book for therapy, to heal, and to break the cycle for my daughter. And to help anyone try to find self-love and forgiveness, too. Turning pain into purpose is my Why. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFor readers ages 14 and up: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eDue to the content and nature of domestic violence, adult language is used to portray real events as they occurred.
