When Love Turns to Leverage is a raw, intimate memoir tracing ten years of life inside an abusive relationship that weaponized love through coercive control, financial dependence, and psychological manipulation. More than a survival story, it's a reclamation of voice - and a message to every woman who has ever been silenced by someone who once claimed to love her. Told from the lens of a single mother navigating both the shadows of abuse and the weight of public doubt, this memoir reveals how systemic gaslighting - from partners, society, and institutions - keeps women trapped. It also charts the powerful journey of reclaiming dignity, motherhood, and self-worth, even when the world insists you don't deserve it.
