Preventing and Ending Domestic Abuse - Paperback

by Alan Venus (Author)

This self-help book is a practical, lifesaving guide that empowers readers to recognise early warning signs to both prevent abuse before it begins, and to end abuse where it already exits- Chapters on 'Preventing Domestic Abuse' explore Dating, Courtship, and Engagement, offering clear guidance on identifying risk and building safe, healthy foundations. While chapters on 'Ending Domestic Abuse' address Marriage, Divorce, Control and Coercion, Drugs and Alcohol, Sexual Abuse, Dysfunctional Families, and issues affecting the Elderly. Additional sections examine Living Alone, Online Dating, Single Mothers, Rape, and Fortitude, with dedicated guidance for perpetrators at the end of each chapter.

For too long, women have been expected to endure the impossible without the knowledge or tools needed to stay safe - this must change. Real-world safety requires practical skills, emotional resilience, self-awareness, and a clear understanding of one's rights. These essentials belong in the hands of those most vulnerable, because women deserve more than sympathy - they deserve the ability to live safely, freely, and confidently.

Inside, readers will find strategies grounded in safety and self-advocacy, real-life scenarios, and clear guidance on understanding confrontational risk, recognising severity, implementing safety controls, and managing emotions.

Whether you are entering a new relationship, experiencing abuse, an advocate for the younger generation to 'gift a copy', or seeking genuine inspiration, this book offers a pathway toward something so much better. Beyond its practical frameworks, it provides a direct route to personal transformation. It encourages readers to rise above their circumstances, embrace self-reinvention, and draw on their own quiet, enduring strength.

Significantly more than a just guide to prevent and end abusive behaviour, it challenges long-held traditional beliefs, inherited values, and unexamined influences, inviting readers to redefine their lives on their own terms.

Isn't it time you joined the revolution.
