About the Book

Experiencing domestic violence is a reality some people live in on a day to day basis. Understanding the root of why this issue exists can be traced back to understanding the important components necessary for healthy relationships. Creating a healthy relationship involves, having self-love first and foremost, practicing self-development habits on a consistent basis, engaging in effective communication, setting boundaries, and respecting the boundaries set by those you desire to build a relationship with. Respect in general is a huge component of building a healthy relationship. When you care about someone you show them respect, in fact respect is even higher than love on the list of important things to include in a relationship. Respect acknowledges an individual's rights to free will as the infinite choice maker we all are. Love on the other hand says you care about a person so much you desire happiness for them unconditionally. In contrast, domestic violence often occurs when someone has forgotten or refuses to adhere to the principles associated with respect. This can come out of fear of losing the person, being attached to the familiarity of the relationship, and perhaps even fear of being alone. Whatever the reason causing the behavior associated with domestic violence, whether it be physical, mental, or emotional abuse; there is no justification for the behavior. In the Non-Fictional memoir 'Love Shouldn't Hurt' Melissa Holmes bravely shares the intricate details of what she experienced before she became an advocate for putting an end to domestic violence. Melissa shares her story in hopes of helping others to overcome the patterns of domestic violence. If you'd like to learn more about her story, or need support as you take a step toward healing from abuse visit her website: www.loveshouldnthurtny.com
About the Author: I was 25 yrs old when I met my first abuser....we dated, everything was perfect for 5 yrs, I had his first and only son and he proposed, and I said YES. The minute I said yes I noticed this starting to change slowly. We married on March 21, 1998 and 2 years after we married things started going down hill with him being obsessive and wanting to clock and time my every move. The arguing began, the stalking and disrespect and the physical started. One day I just got fed up with no where to go I left and took my chances on survival. He started threatening he was gonna have me killed, but instead he met his untimely death from asthma in May 2003, so he never got a chance make good on his promise. So after his death I stayed single for 5 yrs and then decided to get back out there and met my second abuser who was much worst, he broke my nose on my birthday one year, choked me, pulled my hair, pulled a gun out on me, also threaten to kill me and sit at home with my body till my son got home from school so he could see the expression on his face when he found my body. At that minute I knew I needed a game plan cause he was truly capable of killing me and not caring. I escaped Baltimore and moved back to New York 4 yrs ago safely with my son, and he stalked me for a year of the 4 yrs being back home. I have never experience such brutal treatment but knew I had to remain strong for my kids. I learned to turn my weakness into my strengths and Love Shouldn't Hurt was born, and helping others in dv situations to know there not alone in this fight. Someone does care and her name is Melissa Holmes.
