How to protect yourself from the one against whom the strongest doors and the highest walls are powerless, because he is inside these walls. A full-scale study of a difficult, but extremely important and, unfortunately, incredibly relevant topic - the topic of domestic violence. For a long time, it was not customary to talk about domestic violence out loud. "Do not wash dirty linen in public", "dear ones scold - they just amuse themselves", "beats - it means they love" ... But by itself this problem will not be solved and will not disappear. Domestic violence leaves severe psychological trauma and frighteningly often leads to suicide and homicide. Rachel Louise Snyder talked to a wide variety of people and considered this problem from all possible sides: from representatives of the law to murderers, from active fighters against this horror to those who are used to convincing themselves that "his house is on the edge", from psychologists to politicians and from executioners to their victims. Years of investigations have resulted in a book, which is sometimes difficult to read, how hard it is for its main characters to live in an incessant nightmare that exists in their own home. Snyder seeks and finds answers to the questions: why the victim does not leave his tormentor, what the male aggressor is, who he sees himself, why does what he does, and what can stop him. Most importantly, this book tells about what each of us can do to contribute to the fight against this nightmare. And if not to defeat him at all, then at least to bring this victory closer. Domestic violence is a topic that has long been on the periphery of society's attention. "They'll figure it out in their own family." Now that, behind the closed doors of beautifully furnished living rooms and cozy bedrooms, this issue has entered the field of public comment, it has become obvious how huge and scary it is. In the process of writing the book, Rachel Louise Snyder, one of the world's leading experts on domestic violence, spoke to a huge number of people: with the victims and their torturers, with those who killed someone from their family members, and those who caught these murderers. , with those who were bullied, and those who were bullied, with those who stood up to protect the victims, and those who looked away from them.
