Produktbeschreibung

Domestic abuse comes in many forms. It can be a slow erosion of your identity, making you question your reality and robbing you of the safety and peace you deserve in your own home. Sometimes, it's a persistent, subtle feeling that even your mere existencebreathing or taking up spaceis somehow wrong. These thoughts don't originate from you. They are planted, cultivated to make you doubt yourself, silence you, and reduce you to a shell of your former self. But how do you recognise it? When does love turn into control, abuse, and violence? How do you break free from the fog of manipulation, the relentless confusion that distorts your sense of reality? Even if you recognise it, leaving is rarely straightforward. It's a series of toxic moments, battles, and heartbreaking choices. It's preparing for the backlash, the uncertainty in a patriarchal world tilted against you. For centuries, women have faced these battles, caught between societal expectations and personal betrayals. Domestic abuse, whether physical or emotional, is a silent epidemic that thrives on secrecy, shame, and the desperate hope that things might change. These forms of intimate partner violence transcend class, culture, and status, shattering lives, dreams, and futures. In Predator: A Guide to Breaking the Chains of Domestic Abuse and Finding Freedom, Natalie Waugh, a survivor and advocate, shares her harrowing yet empowering journey of surviving domestic abuse. Through her deeply personal story, she exposes the insidious tactics of narcissists, emotional manipulators, and abusers. This book serves as a powerful resource for women seeking to understand how narcissism impacts relationships and how to heal and rebuild their lives after experiencing an abusive relationship. Written with empathy, clarity, and the power of her lived experience, this self-help book serves as a groundbreaking guide for women struggling with the effects of living with a narcissistic partner, verbal and physical abuse, codependency, financial entrapment, and gaslighting. It provides tools and insights for healing the shame that binds you and escaping toxic relationships, even in the face of challenges such as parental alienation or co-parenting with an abuser who is turning their wrath on the children. What sets "Predator" apart is its blend of personal insight and systemic critique. This healing book for women not only equips readers with survival tools but also calls for systemic change, highlighting the failures of legal frameworks, social support systems, and public awareness that are all required to better help and protect victims of domestic violence and coercive control. It offers clarity and understanding on:

• How to recognise the patterns of control and manipulation.

• How to navigate the fear and confusion of leaving an abusive relationship.

• How to cope with the relentless pull of doubt and shame.

• How to find a path toward healing that honours both your pain and your commitment to rebuilding your life. Whether you are seeking a compassionate book on trauma, healing, or codependency, "Predator" provides a lifeline for adult survivors of toxic family members, emotional abuse, and domestic violence. This book is for anyone who feels trapped in a cycle of abuse, as well as for friends or family members who want to help but don't know how. Above all, it is for anyone ready to find their voice and challenge a world that too often tolerates abuse. Don't let another day pass in silence. Pick up "Predator" and discover the strength that's already within you.
