"When Love Hurts discusses the forms of abuse we're familiar with like physical abuse and verbal abuse," says co-author Jill Cory. "It also speaks about those less known like emotional abuse, intellectual abuse, financial abuse, sexual abuse, spiritual abuse, and social abuse."

"An abusive partner is in a cycle of abuse," says co-author Karen McAndless-Davis. "The honeymoon phase is where he appears apologetic, remorseful and attentive. The tension phase includes insults, threats, sarcasm, and fault finding. The explosion is marred with name-calling, swearing, yelling, and sometimes physical assault or throwing things. Then the partner will begin the honeymoon phase again and the cycle continues."
