These books provide information and personal stories about why people fall victim to toxic relationships, what the cycle of abuse is and how to regain control of the situation. It is designed so that the belly band is removed before gifting, disguising the series in a plain black folder to avoid the abuser lashing out and help protect the victim.
Those who are suffering from an abusive and toxic relationship feel trapped in an impossible situation. They can be completely controlled by their abuser and isolated from friends and family as a result of manipulation and fear. They need your support, patience and understanding. What may seem like a simple fix to you, can be extremely complicated to the person who is submerged in the situation. Don’t be afraid to express your concern but do so out of love and with respect. Make sure to focus on your loved one, not the abuser. They need to be able to trust you to respect their desicion if they decide to stay. Help them develop a safety plan if they remain in the relationship and if they chose to leave, continue to check in on them and be supportive. No matter how difficult and frustrating the situation may be from an outside perspective, do not confront the abuser or publicly shame them. It will only worsen the abuse for your loved one.
