Teen Dating Abuse Often Hides in Plain Sight
This e-book helps parents and guardians recognize subtle warning signs of emotional manipulation, control, and abuse before a teen becomes trapped in a harmful relationship. You’ll learn what to look for, what to say, and how to intervene with wisdom and care.
Some books are written to entertain.
Some are written to inform.
Broken Butterflies was written to interrupt silence.
Behind closed doors, too many teens are navigating relationships marked by control, manipulation, intimidation, and abuse—often without the language to identify what is happening to them.
Awareness is not merely information; it is protection.
A single truth learned today can prevent years of pain tomorrow.
Broken Butterflies exists to start conversations, equip young people with knowledge, and remind them that love should never require suffering, fear, or the loss of self-worth.
Because every young person deserves to know the difference between love and abuse.
And every butterfly deserves the opportunity to heal, grow, and fly.
