I am simply just a woman who met the wrong person; I am a mother who just loves her kids; I am a person who strived to keep her family together against all odds; I was a naive, young bride and mother who could never have been prepared for the hand that I was dealt in life.

I have written this book to hopefully address and help other people like me in a situation where you believe it is impossible to escape; a prison where you are wearing invisible chains; where you are constantly wondering what you could have possibly done so wrong to deserve this treatment; a mother racked with guilt at the thought of breaking up her family; a woman whose voice becomes silent for her own protection; and most of all a person who has absolutely no self-worth and accepts this as normal.

My absolute wish is to eradicate domestic abuse, coercive control and parental alienation from this world - these acts KILL many thousands of people every year. We all need to be aware and speak out for victims of these despicable crimes who have no voice!
