Imagine living a life that you have no control over. Fear, abject hatred, unspeakable violent acts, and terror follow you everywhere you go. They weigh on you like ships' anchors, but your shoulders can no longer bear the strain. Life's pleasures bring you pain. You bear the scars of someone else's rage. The future is hopeless. The past is too traumatic to recall. This is what life is like for those who are in a relationship plagued by domestic violence. Your chest constricts. Your hands shake, so you hide them as best you can so as not to provoke your abuser. Look no one in the eyes, or you'l...
Imagine living a life that you have no control over. Fear, abject hatred, unspeakable violent acts, and terror follow you everywhere you go. They weigh on you like ships' anchors, but your shoulders can no longer bear the strain. Life's pleasures bring you pain. You bear the scars of someone else's rage. The future is hopeless. The past is too traumatic to recall. This is what life is like for those who are in a relationship plagued by domestic violence. Your chest constricts. Your hands shake, so you hide them as best you can so as not to provoke your abuser. Look no one in the eyes, or you'll suffer the consequences. Don't laugh unless you've been told to, and only for an approved amount of time. Hide your scars. Make excuses. Blame yourself. Tell yourself it will change. But what if it never does? What if you spend the rest of your earthly days living like a prisoner in a relationship that is destroying you inch by inch? IN LOVE WITH A MONSTER explores the dark and dangerous percussions of domestic abuse. It's for women who've suffered egregious brutality and created a façade to keep up appearances and not anger their abuser. It exposes the twisted logic that's embedded in psyches when someone is forced to remain in a toxic and brutal relationship. It's part cautionary tale, part survival guide.
