This collection of poems was written in 2020 and 2021, after the author freed herself from a controlling relationship which lasted for over 10 years. Writing about her experiences helped her to heal, and confirm that what she felt during the relationship was genuine.
The main issues discussed are gaslighting, control, escape from abuse and survival.
The author hopes her writing will raise awareness of abuse within intimate relationships, highlight warning signs to family and friends, and show solidarity with victims and survivors.
