About the Book

This honest and open autobiography is the true story of a young woman trapped in a relationship that was violent and abusive. Coercive control drove her to the depths of despair.

Stacey Jameson had a lack of self-esteem derived from her early childhood. Growing up and dealing with her parents' divorce, she felt nothing more than an inconvenience to her depressive mother. With severe feelings of inadequacy, she was desperate to be loved and feel that she belonged. When she was a teenager, she met Leon, and fell in love. She had never felt so happy. They had one common denominator; they were both brought up in volatile homes. This was the foundation for a turbulent and destructive relationship. Stacey was welcomed with open arms into the bosom of Leon's dysfunctional family; naive and impressionable, she finally felt secure and loved.

Stacey's childhood had made her timid and compliant. Leon's childhood had made him controlling and narcissistic. Gradually Stacey found herself in an unhappy relationship where her partner thrived on being abusive, yet she still loved him. She was coercively controlled into doing things that just were not part of her character. She was so manipulated; she believed she did not deserve any better.

So often people look on with judgement at others who are in an abusive relationship and say, "Why don't they just leave?".

Stacey's story, just one of millions, describes her journey and why it's just not so simple to 'Just leave' for people who find themselves caught up in a destructive relationship that they just cannot escape from.

Stood in a refuge after leaving her husband she thought to herself, 'has that really happened to me?' There was no way she could convey in a short paragraph or conversation, with anyone, the depths of pain she had experienced. Having searched the library for books on domestic violence, there were so many shocking stories, but non she could really relate to. So she felt from that point compelled to write her own story. She wanted to describe the day-to-day living, and how you can get swept away and caught up in an abusive relationship. The book took over twenty years to write and portrays the growth in Stacey over that time.
