Dangerous and disregarding people don't just drop out of the sky. Nor are they born bloodthirsty and cruel. When looking at the developmental years of adult criminals and juvenile delinquents or the selfish patterns of anyone that we must rub shoulders with, the question is asked "How does one get this way?" Typically we can see the answers within their genetic mental health history which may hint of possible concern and their first 5 years after birth which is their most impressionable social training ground.This volume reveals what the source and beginnings of aberrant behavior looks like, and what the adults they become act like. It also gives us perspective as to how to recognize and at least avoid predators in regular person clothing.Is there a cure or pill for predatory behavior?Is there hope for your relative or coworker from Hell?Where they come from, what they look like and how we can prevent or dodge them is the purpose of this book.When it comes to the above questions Theodore Robert Bundy's life gives us all the information we need.
In this collection of 12 stories the author depicts scenes from the lives of children, families and adults, dealing with topics and events which are common to many households and families around the world, and which leave lasting marks on our lives. We meet children and families struggling with various problems - from illnesses, dyslexia, autism, the loss of a loved one, domestic abuse and bullying, to the problem of facing ourselves and our own weaknesses. Through these simple stories, with which we can all identify, we recognise people and situations we ourselves may be going through or they might be happening to someone we know. The language of the stories is simple, non-scientific, and the events are based on the author's long-term experience of working with various age groups. We are lead into each story through a short, inspiring quote by the author. Each story ends with a small exercise, like a brief meditation called Place to myself; its goal is to apply what we learned from the story to something positive and applicable in our lives. These are not children's stories, but stories about children and adults, stemming from the author's experiences and dreams/nightmares. The stories aim to reach parents and educators, i.e. any adult working with children and for the good of children and families.
Alba er 2,5 år og går i vuggestue. De fleste dage er gode. Så leger Alba med Albert. Men andre dage er dumme. Især når far har været skræmmende og har råbt højt eller skubbet til mor derhjemme. Så kaster Alba med tingene og bider Albert. Og Alba kan hverken sove eller spise noget. Heldigvis findes pædagogen Hanne. Det hjælper lidt. Men ikke altid.Alba har en dum dag, er en samtalebog til de 1-4 årige børn, der er udsat for vold i deres familie. Den handler om ikke at have ord for alt det svære, der sker, når volden mellem de to mennesker, man elsker allerhøjest, eskalerer. For ord kan mangle, når man kun er 2,5 år. Når ordene mangler, kan barnet i stedet vise, hvordan det har det.Alba har en dum dag er den anden bog i serien om Alba. Den første titel hedder: Alba - og hendes familie.
Romanen giver læseren et indblik i, hvor vanskeligt det er at komme fri af et dysfunktionelt parforhold, hvor psykisk vold er dagens orden. Mette er efter mange års samliv med Morten langsomt, men sikkert manipuleret ind i hans destruktive univers. Langt om længe går det op for hende, hvor nedbrydende og alt ødelæggende det er for hende og børnene. Morten lyver og manipulerer konstant med familien. Han er psykisk og fysisk voldelig, men kan også af og til være indsmigrende og venlig, hvilket fastholder Mette i håbet om bedring i fremtiden. Den evige vekslen mellem massiv kulde og kortvarig ”kærlighed”, får Mettes selvtillid og dømmekraft til at smuldre, og hun forledes til at tro, at det er hende, der er noget galt med. Mette må ud i friheden! ...
There's a silent epidemic creeping through the church. And it's not pretty. Statistics tell us that one in four highly religious marriages in the United States have abuse in them, although few are willing to admit it. Pastors don't see it and aren't trained to deal with it; fellow parishioners may not notice something is wrong; and the Christian woman trapped in such a situation may not realize that what she's experiencing is actually abuse.Author Rebecca Commean knows this well. She sensed something was wrong but couldn't quite put her finger on it. Her husband was controlling, he lied, he gaslighted her, he meted out small sums of money to run the household of nine children. But he was a different guy at church. At church, people loved and revered him, and the church leaders told her to, above all else, to submit to him. When she finally asked herself the question Is this Domestic Abuse? her eyes were opened, and she knew she had to do better for herself and her children. This handbook for Christian women will help you to evaluate your own situation and, if warranted, it will show you how to protect yourself and your children from what could become a dangerous and deadly situation. Commean has covered every step of the extraction process and provides numerous resources to help you help yourself.
You should always feel safe in a relationship, feel equal with your partner, and feel respect for each other. This this is why I created the journal. Journal stems from the word journey. I have provided highlights from my life's journey of domestic abuse, but I realized that it is not yours. Therefore, I have compiled resources, activities, and journaling pages for you to record YOUR journey in hopes that it will help you and others whom you may share it with in the future. Happy journaling!Words are powerful; the words we choose to say out loud are even more powerful. That's why I tell everyone I am a domestic violence survivor-not a victim.Never a victim.While this guide focuses on dating partners, these principles apply to relationships with friends, family, spouses, and coworkers.
This book comes from a painful experience where God healed me and brought out ministry from. It comes from experience of realizing the gap between the church and domestic violence victims and survivors. And most importantly it comes out of my dissertation!The purpose of this book is to help build a bridge between domestic violence victims/survivors, outside licensed professionals, and church leaders to bring complete healing to abused women.Dr. Smith in collaboration with a pastor in California will also be creating a program that churches can use as an outreach ministry or small group to teach other pastors about domestic violence and how to minister effectively to victims and survivors.Dr. Tanya Smith is a Biblical Scholar and Theologian holding her Bachelor Degree in Pastoral Ministries, Master of Divinity and Doctor in Ministry Degrees. She's a loving mother and grandmother who loves the Lord with all her heart. She is an evangelist who speaks at different churches on God's love, power, and healing. She also books speaking engagements on domestic violence and owns Rejuvenated Women's Foundation. She runs a conference out of her foundation called, "Damaged but not Broken" and is the author of "Damaged but not Broken: How God Brings Restoration After Domestic Violence", "Healed, Delivered, Set Free, Restored", "Entering the Throne Room" and Book 1 in the Spiritual Empowerment Series "Starting With the Basics", book 2 "Levels of the Call" and book 3 "Time to Flow".
This is the third book in the Warning Signs series. This volume will show how I began to see the abuse that was occurring, started questioning my trust in him, and found the courage to leave. It also depicts how people cope with the emotional abuse and inner turmoil of it all, how people leave, and how people grow afterward. ---Warning Signs, is my memoir about intimate partner violence (IPV), a subset of domestic violence (DV). It reads as though it is a fast-paced romance adventure story, but after every chapter there is a Warning Signs section that explains the domestic violence that was actually occurring. I am not only a DV survivor, but I am a therapist with extensive training in domestic violence principles; which I share in these Warning Signs chapters. ¿Warning Signs is one story in a series of three books; Volume 1 shows the story about how we met, fell in love, and began our relationship together. Volume 2 shows the story of our marriage, how our relationship changed, and why I stayed with him. Volume 3 shows how I began to understand what was happening, started questioning my trust in him, and eventually left him. My hope is that this book can teach people the warning signs so that people can: 1) Not enter abusive relationships; 2) Leave if they are in them; 3) Help people notice if someone is in an abusive relationship, and then teach them the warning signs so they leave; 4) Help people whose loved ones have experienced abuse understand what happened and why it was hard for them to see the signs and leave; and 5) Create a global discussion so that we can change these patterns, so as a society we can work toward ending abuse.As a community of people reading this book and people that care about survivors, I hope that we can help people make smart decisions.

This is the second book in the Warning Sign series, which helps people learn the warning signs of intimate partner violence (IPV) and domestic violence (DV). In this volume, I write about our marriage and how it felt, the good times and the bad. In these warning signs sections, you will learn about trauma bonding and other reasons people stay in abusive relationships. The important message is that people stay in these relationships for a variety of reasons, and we should never judge someone for making the choice to stay. People will leave when they are ready and when they are safe to leave.--- Warning Signs, is my memoir about intimate partner violence (IPV), a subset of domestic violence (DV).

— Mit Smukke Bæst, ser du det nu, din mor har aldrig elsket dig. Er du ked af det? Sover du?Det smukke bæst er et ondt eventyr om en forsømt pige, hendes guddommeligt smukke, men enfoldige bror og deres selvoptagede mor. Med sin udpenslede vold og ødipale mareridtsstemning var romanen, skrevet af den dengang kun 20-årige Marie-Claire Blais, et særsyn i 50'ernes Canada. Den vakte enorm forargelse, men betragtes i dag som et uomgængeligt hovedværk i det 20. århundredes canadiske litteratur. Marie-Claire Blais hører til samme generation af canadiske forfattere som Margaret Atwood (The Handmaid's Tale), der om sit rystende møde med romanen sagde:"Bogen gjorde mig meget utilpas, af andre end blot de åbenlyse grunde: volden, mordene, antydningerne af incest og skriftens hallucinatoriske intensitet var sjældne i datidens canadiske litteratur, men endnu mere skræmmende var tanken om, at denne utroligt velskrevne, bloddryppende fantasi var skrevet af en kun 19-årig pige."
Even though we're becoming a more open-minded society when it comes to certain things. There are still plenty of people who will judge or question why someone is doing something. Whether you agree with someone or not, having conversations is important before judging them. Trying to get a better understanding with more information can be helpful. In this book, I wanted a variety of people to tell me why they do it. Whether it's adult entertainment, OnlyFans, a phone sex worker, or being a sugar baby. It was interesting to learn why they did it.

Kaffe & østers er et portræt af iværksætteren Signe Nordal og udviklingen i firmaet Nordal. Fortællingen er et korsstingsbroderi, der viser den gode fortælling om barndom, ungdom og en traditionel kernefamilie i et parcelhus. Men idyllen brydes. Signe bliver efter en skilsmisse forelsket i en ny mand og ”fuldstændig solgt” til en voldelig kæreste. I virksomheden har hun succes, mens hendes privatliv ligger i ruiner. I firmaet dækker hun over volden. Signe kommer efter flere års forsøg ud af det voldelige forhold med erfaringer om grænseoverskridende kontrol, magt og afmagt. Efter bruddet oplever hun en stalkingperiode på halvandet år. I den tid vidste Signe aldrig, hvad hun kom hjem til, og derfor havde hun i en periode ansat en privat vagt i sit hjem. I bogen fortæller Signe, at det på trods af en helt almindelig opvækst i velfærdssamfundet kan ske, at man bliver blind og forelsket og ikke ser tegn på manipulation og kontrol fra ens kæreste, men tolker det som beskyttelse og omsorg. Han ville jo bare passe på mig. Jeg følte mig feminin og var ikke opmærksom. Men jeg skulle blive klogere, siger Signe.
"No Trespassing" is Elizabeth Navarette Savage's personal memoir and "gift" to survivors of domestic violence, as well as anyone who has experienced a traumatic loss in his/her life. Elizabeth met what she thought was "the love of her life" in high school, never imagining that her dream boyfriend would be her living nightmare.Like so many victims, Elizabeth ignored the warning signs, and by the time the abuse started, she had already given birth to her first child, was pregnant with another, and married to her tormenter. For eight years after that, she was beaten and mentally abused at the hands of her husband and the father of her children.Elizabeth's debut book chronicles her journey through a tumultuous relationship with a chronic abuser, which turned her life upside down and ultimately ended with the devastating loss of three of her children. Through it all, Elizabeth was determined to break the cycle of her abuse and loss by turning her pain into purpose, which she has masterfully done by telling her life-altering story in "No Trespassing." In sharing her story, Elizabeth's goal is to empower women, men, and teens to break the cycle of abuse and live the lives that God pre-ordained for them. "No Trespassing" will give hope to the hopeless that they, too, can overcome what may seem like insurmountable odds without looking back!Elizabeth Navarette Savage is a native of El Paso, Texas but raised in Amarillo (TX) and CEO of the Stand Together Against Nationwide Domestic Violence organization, also known as S.T.A.N.D, which she founded in 2010. The goal of S.T.A.N.D. is to uplift and inspire broken women, men, and teens who have experienced challenges in their lives. As part of her commitment to inspiring and bringing hope to those who have been victims of sexual and domestic violence, Elizabeth has penned her debut book, "No Trespassing" in which she shares her painful experience with domestic violence as well as the heartbreaking loss of her three children. When Elizabeth is not running the day-to-day operation of S.T.A.N.D, she is traveling all over the country, speaking to a variety of audiences on the dangers of being in a domestic violence relationship as well as the warning signs to look for. Elizabeth also volunteers with the Arlington Police Department through their Arlington Clergy and Police Partnership program. Lastly, she is a wife to her husband Dennis, a mother to daughter Marcella and son Jay and grandmother to five grandchildren.
