A message from the author: Dear Fellow Survivor, if you feel raw, confused, hopeless, depressed, if you feel shameful, angry, fearful of stepping out of your house, fearful of trusting anybody ever again, if you blame yourself and incessantly ask yourself “Why me?”, know that you are not alone. I was just like you too. I have definitely been there. I have had more than my fair share of abuse. Non-stop, relentless abuse sure isn’t fun, but ironically, it has also given me a purpose. It has led me to this. I feel like I have seen the dark side of human nature, but I also know with certainty that this is not the end of it. The situation is only going to get worse and there will be new lows to come. It is indispensable, and urgent, that you shed the abuse and protect yourself. Know that in your darkest hour, you were always stronger than your perpetrator. You never had to resort to dispensing abuse to feel better---- that is a strength in itself. It is possible to find the person you were again. Not only that, you can even surpass the individual you were before and find unimagined beauty and happiness in life. The world works in mysterious ways… I have been through this journey and am still on it. With this book, I hope I can give you an amazing start to creating your own amazing, inspiring story. I am a most ordinary individual faced with extreme circumstances. Having been through it, I am absolutely convinced you can do it too. I wish you all the best in embarking on your life-changing journey. You will be amazed at what’s to come. With solidarity, Jason
