Writing Breaking Chains: Escaping the Darkness of an Abusive Marriage has been an amazing, profoundly emotional, transformational journey and experience. I have dedicated this book to all those brave men and women who have endured the silent suffering of an abusive relationship or marriage and those who seek to understand and even heal from such an abhorrent and dehumanising experience. This book is not just a guide. It is a testament of resilience, courage and strength to all those who have endured and survived abuse in varying proportions and degrees.

"You’re just too sensitive!" "That didn’t happen. You must be imagining things." "I don’t remember saying anything like that. You must have misunderstood me." Do these phrases seem familiar?

Someone is trying to take control of your life.

Narcissistic personality disorder is surprisingly common, affecting up to six percent of the population. People with this disorder can seem charming and self-confident, but their excessive need for admiration from others masks deeper insecurity and self-loathing that drive them to manipulate and abuse the people who care about them.

This book is a powerful, comprehensive journey into the realities of domestic violence—what it looks like, how it begins, and how it silently shapes the lives of millions. Through survivor-style narratives, detailed explanations of the many forms of abuse, and clear insight into the psychology of abusers, it exposes the hidden cycles that keep victims trapped in fear, shame, and confusion. It also teaches listeners how trauma affects the mind and body, why leaving is so dangerous, and how healing truly begins once safety is regained.

Humans are deceitful creatures sometimes, and it shows in the way they communicate and act. For you to survive the lies, it is important that you know what to look for. Moreover, when you know how to influence others, you can use that knowledge to your benefit for the right purposes.
