Mental illness. Addiction. Pain. Fear. Control. Abuse.
What images do those words stir in your mind’s eye? Domestic Violence/abuse.
What does abuse feel like?
It feels heavy, tangible, scary, and hopeless. The psychotic inky darkness of abuse from my former spouse was complex. He wove in and out of the reality of his mind. His darkness surrounded us, chocked, and suffocated us till no hope was left, but for a pinpoint of light.
How can you recognize abuse?
I describe domestic violence/abuse in two ways: the hunter and the caged animal. Both ultimately have control as the foundation.

Paperback. Etat : Good. Mental illness. Addiction. Pain. Fear. Control. Abuse. What images do those words stir in your mind's eye? For me, those words paint a darkening abyss filled with millions of gallons of heaviness, guilt, and duty trapping me in tangible darkness. My former spouse could not see us or find us because he was locked away in his own mind of mental illness, then became trapped by substance abuse, and would strike out in forms of Domestic Violence. He had suffered painful experiences in his childhood, and that pain warped and twisted his mind and awakened the genetic mental illness that runs in his family. I share the stories as he told them to me: sometimes during drunken depressed states and other times with sober clarity, to give background. I describe abuse in two ways: the hunter and the caged animal. Both ultimately have control as the foundation. His mental illness was awakened from his pain, and as stress was added to it, he needed to control everything. How? As a caged animal strikes out at anyone to free itself; others are damaged in that process. In nine years of marriage, we went through various stages; incredible rays of the sun, to dimming light, to growing darkness, to finally inky blackness of the abyss of abuse. Why do I share this story? I write it for the victim. Why? Because there is more than hope, there is light, and I want you to know that you have worth within you more than you can ever know.I am an author, speaker, and life strengthening coach who helps the battered, beaten, and broken discover their strength to heal so that they become a victor in the light My story is what I learned as I descended into this dark abyss and how I found pinpoints of light that led me back out of it. The events that occurred will be told in the most accurate way I can: from my journals.It brings me hope to know this book will give each reader an opportunity to learn the processes I used when escaping my abyss of abuse. My clients, their advocates, and the supporters deepen their value and their self-worth because they learn that they are WORTH it. N° de réf. du vendeur 00098763647
