About this item

EXIT 8 provides a much needed look at real life AFTER leaving an abusive relationship. The author, a survivor herself, interviewed 16 women who had escaped or gotten away - and more importantly, STAYED AWAY from batterers, never to be beaten or emotionally abused again. How did they do it? How did these survivors handle anxiety, fear of the batterer's revenge, fear of being alone, fear of new relationships, and problems with their children. How did they manage everyday practical problems like finding a place to live, child custody, police and court issues, and money matters. What solutions did they find most helpful? Readers will learn about the horrifying, yet in some ways, miraculous event that inspired this book. Then, they will be introduced to the 16 long term survivors the author spent over a year interviewing and hear the powerful, heartbreaking and inspiring information they have shared.
