Warning Signs Series

I wrote this book to help people learn the warning signs of intimate partner violence (IPV) and domestic violence (DV). This is my personal story of enduring abuse and how I eventually left. After each chapter in the story, there is a section called "warning signs" that discusses the warning signs of abuse that I did not see at the time, to help people see the signs in the context of abuse as it occurs and learn about how it happens. As a community of people reading this book and people that care about DV and IPV survivors, I hope that we can help people make smart decisions.

This is the second book in the Warning Sign series, which helps people learn the warning signs of intimate partner violence (IPV) and domestic violence (DV). In this volume, I write about our marriage and how it felt, the good times and the bad. In these warning signs sections, you will learn about trauma bonding and other reasons people stay in abusive relationships. The important message is that people stay in these relationships for a variety of reasons, and we should never judge someone for making the choice to stay. People will leave when they are ready and when they are safe to leave. Share your thoughts and stories using #WarningSigns so we can grow together.

This is the third book in the Warning Signs series. This volume will show how I began to see the abuse that was occurring, started questioning my trust in him, and found the courage to leave. It also depicts how people cope with the emotional abuse and inner turmoil of it all, how people leave, and how people grow afterward.
