Разрушенные иллюзии: от любви к выживанию

Shattered Illusions - From love to survival is a trauma-informed literary memoir that examines life inside addiction, domestic violence, and recovery from the perspective most often left out of these narratives…the partner and children who live in the shadow of someone else’s substance use. Told in a grounded, reflective first-person voice, the book traces a woman’s journey from single motherhood through entanglement with a crack-addicted partner, near-lethal violence, institutional intervention, and ultimately, the deliberate construction of a life built on safety, agency, and legacy.
