Description:
CHILDREN AREN’T THE ONLY ONES DYING IN OUR HOMES
With all of the recent publicity about the high rate of child abuse in this country it is easy to forget the steadily growing group of women who still live with domestic abuse everyday. But even if we believe the statistics that show that some women abuse their children, there are still those women who have been the focal point for women’s refuge and other community organizations, who live their lives fully controlled by their abusive partners, and this group is growing steadily every year.
Freelance Journalist Lisa Oliver knows what it is like to be one of those women. She spent ten years of her life married to firstly a chronic alcoholic and then to an extremely controlling man who spent the last six months of their marriage working out the most effective ways of killing her and getting away with it. Escaping only after this second husband had decided that the jail time for murder was worth it after all Lisa went on to rebuild her life for herself and her three children. However she has never forgotten the lessons she learnt during her time as a domestic abuse victim, and one of her main goals in life now has been to try and explain to the rest of society why a seemingly intelligent and competent woman can end up enduring all forms of abuse from her intimate partner, without leaving. Her attempt at explaining this complex issue has resulted in her self-published book Invisible Bars: Why women don’t leave.
Lisa is currently looking for a publisher for her book but in the meantime she is selling the book through her own self-publishing business, Oliver Group Publications. A print version of the book will cost you $15.00 or there is an electronic version available as a pdf or word file for $8.00. 20% of the cover price for both versions is donated to the Women’s Refuge. Either version of the book can be purchased by contacting paulisa2@maxnet.co.nz
