Family life can be a source of great happiness, or it can bring resentment and disappointment, it can give strength, or it can take away. It is common to talk about the strangeness of love, but sometimes violence is hidden under the guise of love. How to distinguish one from the other? Does violence always mean being beaten, or can it manifest itself in different forms? Where does it come from? What to do if you find out that you are living with an abuser? These and other questions are answered by the book you are holding in your hands. It is both a confidential conversation about what is difficult to admit to relatives and friends, and a practical guide for getting out of a situation that should not be tolerated.
