The Jealousy Game

GLOBAL STATISTICS:
140 women and girls die at the hands of
an abusive partner or family member every day; which amounts to one death every ten minutes.
In Europe and the Americas, more than half of those deaths are at the hands of an intimate partner.
FACT:
Physical abuse begins as mental abuse
in almost every case.
FACT:
Jealousy is mental abuse and a sign of worse to come.
You might think jealousy is a natural part of being in love; a partner's way of demonstrating how much they care.
But, what if jealousy reaches such an extreme that you find yourself constantly under attack, accused of things you haven't done?
Jealousy is a form of mental abuse that often escalates into physical violence.
Knowing how to recognize abnormal behavior in your partner can save you from months, even years of mental anguish. It may even save your life.
The Jealousy Game follows the cycle of abuse as it develops within a woman's relationship with a jealous man, starting with subtle little displays of jealousy and culminating in a struggle between life and death.
The relationship is based on a composite of the author's experiences and those of many other women who contributed their stories.
It begins with what seems like an endearing display of affection, but evolves into mental abuse and finally, physical violence.
The aim of this book is to help you to identify red flags in your relationship before it’s too late.
It provides a list of common symptoms that appear when a relationship has progressed beyond what is healthy.
If you recognize your own relationship in any of these scenarios, it is a sign that you should consider ending it before you become traumatized, injured or even killed.
This book can be an eye-opening read for young women who are new to dating and a chilling walk down memory lane for those of us who have experienced jealousy and abuse first-hand.
Dedicated to all survivors of domestic violence; and especially to the ones who did not survive.
