"This exploration of coercive control and physical abuse emerges from my personal healing journey. It stems from the profound realization of a recurring pattern that has significantly shaped my life. Growing up with an exceedingly controlling father, whose behaviors at times escalated into outright abuse, provided the unsettling backdrop against which I unwittingly navigated relationships in adulthood. Unaware of the insidious pattern I was following, the situation only worsened with each new relationship. It wasn't until later in life, after escaping the most mind fucking circumstances of my life (explored in my book, 'The Sociopath's Puppet'), that I began my journey of healing. This book aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of both coercive control and physical abuse, examining their interconnections, individual characteristics, and the collective impact on victims. It serves as a resource for those experiencing or supporting individuals facing these challenges, offering insights into recognition, reporting, and the path to healing and prevention.

Narcissism in romantic relationships is often understood to be gender specific-with the man perpetrating the abuse and the woman on the receiving end. While this is certainly the case in many instances, Releasing Your Need to Please is written to explore the growing phenomenon of women who perpetrate narcissistic abuse-and the men who try to please them. Narcissism is a disorder that stems from childhood trauma. A narcissistic female (a girlfriend or wife) is an extremely wounded personality who, at her core, feels empty, powerless, unlovable, and entitled. In order to soothe her deep insecurities and aching needfulness, she requires a love partner to make her feel better about herself. A narcissistic woman sees her partner as a means to an end-an external source of validation and love-to fill her emptiness and internal feelings of powerlessness. Given their self-absorbed nature, narcissistic women always attract a specific personality type-people pleasers. Pleasers, too, have childhood trauma and low self-esteem in romantic relationships, and as a result, bend over backwards to make their narcissistic counterpart happy. Often compromising themselves to gain approval (or stop the abuse), pleasers lose themselves in the process-and end up living a false, inauthentic life. Putting their feelings and needs on the back burner, they internalize the anger and manipulation of their mate. By the time male partners seek counselling, they are exhausted-second-guessing themselves-and feeling as though they might be going crazy. Some do not recognize the control and manipulation they are experiencing. Others know they are being abused, yet do not wish to do anything productive about it. Yet all pleasers feel trapped inside the abusive relationship-often feeling too weak or defeated to make any changes. Staying with a narcissistic woman is the result of the pleaser's low self-esteem and unresolved childhood trauma. Pleasers are terrified to make the courageous decision to separate-and doubt they have the strength to stay away. Hence, they seek to fix the abusive relationship by accepting responsibility for the abuse. While pleasers justify staying in the relationship, they lose themselves in the process. Throughout the book, the message is clear. While the pleaser has been victimized by narcissistic abuse, he can choose to see himself as a victim without choice-or choose to empower himself, develop self-esteem, and permanently escape. Releasing Your Need to Please teaches the reader how to put himself first-by learning to like, trust, and respect himself. This process begins with accepting he has no other reasonable choice-but to escape his chains of abuse. This book will take the reader on a courageous, empowering, and rewarding journey-and help him gradually (and powerfully) release himself from his own chains (his need to please)-while, at the same time, break his mate's chains of control, anger, manipulation, and exploitation.

Many people suffer from emotional abuse and end up having their life and future destroyed because have been victimized by a manipulative controlling person in their life.

The New York Times bestseller--With an Afterword and a New Epilogue by the AuthorA New York Times Notable Book--Now a Netflix Film"Meticulously reported and beautifully written . . . a haunting and powerful crime story that gives voice to those who can no longer be heard."--David Grann, author of Killers of the Flower Moon and The Wager"Rich, tragic . . . monumental . . . true-crime reporting at its best."--Washington PostOne late spring evening in 2010, Shannan Gilbert ran through the oceanfront community of Oak Beach screaming for her life and was never seen again. No one thought much about what had happened to the twenty-four-year-old: she was a Craigslist escort who had been fleeing a scene--of what, no one could be sure. The Suffolk County police, too, seemed to have paid little attention--until seven months later, when an unexpected discovery in a bramble alongside a nearby highway turned up four bodies, all evenly spaced, all wrapped in burlap. But none of them Shannan's.There was Maureen Brainard-Barnes, last seen at Penn Station in Manhattan three years earlier, and Melissa Barthelemy, last seen in the Bronx in 2009. There was Megan Waterman, last seen leaving a hotel in Hauppauge, Long Island, just a month after Shannon's disappearance in 2010, and Amber Lynn Costello, last seen leaving a house in West Babylon a few months later that same year. Like Shannan, all four women were petite, in their twenties, and had come from out of town to work as escorts, and they all had advertised on Craigslist and its competitor, Backpage.Lost Girls is a portrait of the victims of the Long Island Serial Killer, of the underside of the Internet, and of the secrets we keep without admitting to ourselves that we keep them. Long considered "one of the best true-crime books of all time" (Time), this editionfeatures an afterword including the shocking fate of Mari Gilbert, Shannan's mother, for whom this case became the crusade of a lifetime, a new epilogue covering the most recent developments in the Long Island Serial Killer case, including the arrest, the missteps of the police investigation, and an updated timeline.

Le soleil brillait et sa chaleur comblait ma vie de femme, puis de mère. La grisaille se mêlait à l'astre du jour dont les rayons persistaient à m'aveugler. L'orage est monté, mais je n'ai pas entendu le tonnerre, bercée par mes espoirs. La foudre s'est abattue sur moi et tout mon être fut paralysé puis broyé par l'impossible: la chair de ma chair s'avéra un enfant à comportement tyrannique, un manipulateur pervers narcissique en devenir...

In America Come and Get It, his second release, Mr. Kasalobi finds himself in a big legal fight to regain back the custody of his two daughters. Loylla, the youngest, is eight months old when Sheebah, their mother, abandons them. She comes back eight years later and kidnaps both of them with the help of the Hurst Police Department. For his daughters, Kasalobi moves skies and empties seas, but because it is believed that girls are better off with their mother, lawyers refuse to take the case, while the Child Protective Services closes their eyes to the cruel mistreatments these two little girls are going through. The worst of all is the fact that it is the hands of their own mother that are administrating these violent abuses. As days go by, the fighting becomes bigger and bascules itself on one side, the mother's side. Mr. Kasalobi doesn't get desperate. He doesn't give up even when he finds himself alone doing legal battles to everyone and against every established institution possible. He only gets a break when the lawyer Violet Nwokoye enters the family court on his side. At the end of the day, did he get both children back? He is talking about this new journey in America, Come and Get It.

In this raw and searing memoir, one woman recalls her romantic relationship with a pathological liar who betrayed her and many other women, exploring the trauma he caused and the sisterhood that formed despite--and in spite of--him.In January 2017, Chimene Suleyman arrived at a women's health clinic in Queens, New York, to undergo an abortion, accompanied by her boyfriend, the father of her nascent child. After reluctantly going through with the procedure, she returned to the waiting room to find it empty. Her boyfriend had fled. It was the last time they were together. In an extraordinary sequence of events, she eventually discovered the truth: that the man she she'd loved had gaslit, lied to, stolen from, and painfully betrayed her and many other women like her.Spellbinding and soul-baring, The Chain explores the havoc one man wreaked on the lives of the many unsuspecting women who believed the stories he told, about his various illnesses, his dying mother, his career and professional prospects, and his undying love and commitment. It also chronicles how these women came together to both expose him and to support each other in the wake of his destruction.Examining how women fall prey to manipulative men, Suleyman questions society's complicity in allowing those who would do women harm to flourish and contemplates why others remain silent witnesses by accepting and normalizing shameless behavior towards women. She demonstrates how women themselves are acculturated to perform prescribed roles of giver and nurturer, to be self-sacrificing and subordinate, and to bolster the egos of others by remaining silent and ignoring their own protective instincts.Both a devastating personal testimony and a searing indictment of persistent misogyny, The Chain is a book for any woman who has questioned her relationship and buried her doubts and for any woman who has been sheltered by the fierce protection of her female friends.

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.

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.

This book goes beyond Albert's journey through adverse childhood experiences and explores a firsthand account using records obtained from social services and knowledge gained working in this field. As a Guardian ad Litem and former social services attorney, he demonstrates that there is much more to be done. Sadly, his story is not unique, but it is preventable. This book will aid practitioners and clinicians in becoming more effective, show survivors there is hope, and empower society to become more engaged.
