O knihe

Martha celebrates a milestone birthday with her family and wonders if her life has made the difference she sought to make in this world all those years ago. But questions linger for Martha over the impact of her decision to leave her husband. Was it the best decision? How would her life be different now? What about the lives of her children? Falling in love and marrying at a young age, Martha was not aware of gaslighting and its impact until seventeen years and three kids later, when a suicide attempt brought the abuse to the surface. What decision did Martha make to save her family? Now, years later, as Martha takes her four-year-old grandchild, Sydney, to the park, Martha meets Liz, a young woman with two small children. Martha quickly realizes that Liz is in an abusive relationship and tries to help her... until tragedy strikes. Torched - Burnt by a Gaslighter addresses the long-term and heartbreaking impact of verbal abuse on a family and highlights the hidden red flags that can catch you off guard. Gaslighting impacts both men and women and knows no boundaries. This is a topic that is not discussed out of fear, shame, and embarrassment. Griffiths reminds us that we are all susceptible to domestic abuse as it can be easily disguised as "love" by the perpetrator. It cuts right into the core of our human need to love and be loved and distorts any possibility for a healthy relationship.
