{"product_id":"2940015573718","title":"Freedom from Abuse: Finding Yourself Again","description":"Abuse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe word leaves most of us with a deep sigh and a heavy heart. The ugly side of life. Better left concealed, hidden. Unfortunately, the numbers of people affected by abuse are just too large to ignore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI have worked in the abuse field for over 30 years. As a family law attorney, legal advocate, group leader, volunteer coordinator and community advocate, I have personally witnessed this hidden side of life. What I have learned is that words hurt more than physical abuse. Yet the system responds only to the physical abuse, leaving emotionally bruised and battered women to somehow fend for themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI have been honored to be a witness to the courage of women leaving seemingly stable, but destructive relationships, without support systems or financial backing. When they leave, they are in the most danger; for that is the time most mates explode... when they are losing control of their victim.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's interesting how proud we are of our men in battle, yet, they are trained and geared up for battle. Hundreds of thousands of women face combat every day with their loved ones, yet they receive no honor, no training, and no survivor support.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the perfect book to teach you how to stay out of violent relationships.","brand":"Lori Rubenstein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069563617520,"sku":"2940015573718","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940015573718_p0.jpg?v=1763621935","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015573718","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
