Unmasking the Monster: A True Story of Surviving IPV (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781807029388)

For decades, Terry H. was a "fixer - the healer". A highly successful corporate executive turned holistic wellness center founder, she dedicated her life to helping others heal. So, when a charming man walked into her life carrying a devastating cancer diagnosis, she didn't see a trap. She saw a project. She traded her safety for his sickness, completely unaware that she was walking into a masterclass in deception.

When the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic locked the world down, the gates of Terry's personal hell slammed shut. Her "happily ever after" warped into a suffocating cage of isolation, hidden cameras, drug-fueled rage, and psychological warfare. The man she tried to save wasn't just sick; he was a predator using his illness as a shield.

Unmasking the Monster is one woman's harrowing journey from living in a "house of terror" to finding liberation through the "House of Ruth Maryland". More than just a memoir of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), this book is a tactical guide to surviving the un-survivable.

Featuring exclusive "Warrior's Healing Notes" at the end of every chapter and a comprehensive Survivor Resources section, Terry details how she shifted from a cowering victim into a strategic cycle-breaker.

If you are walking on eggshells, wearing rose-colored glasses, or trying to heal a person who is breaking you-this book is your compass. Learn how to reclaim your sovereign temple, build an architecture of escape, and unmask the warrior within.
