What if the person who claimed to love you was the one who slowly erased you? You don’t wake up one day and suddenly realize you’re in an abusive relationship. It’s quieter and slower than that, like a fog settling over your life, soft enough to breathe through—until you can’t. In this gripping memoir, author Lyndal Ash, using a pen name to protect her identity and safety, shares her harrowing journey through emotional and psychological abuse, manipulation, and coercive control, all hidden behind the mask of love. From the intoxicating highs of romance to the suffocating grip of domination, Love’s Hidden Violence is a raw, unflinching account of survival, awakening, and reclaiming power. This is more than a story; it is a lifeline for anyone questioning their reality, doubting their worth, or silently enduring control disguised as care. With courage and clarity, Lyndal offers not just her truth but a road map for others to use to break free, heal deeply, and thrive boldly. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s really that bad, this memoir is your answer and your beginning. You matter.
