Sweetie

How Much Should You Give Up to Keep That Relationship? I Can Answer That!

By: Debra Palardy

Narrated by: Debra Palardy

This book is for people of all ages who suffer from domestic abuse.

Dating violence isn’t just an adult issue—it’s a dangerous and all-too-common reality for young girls today. Abusive partners come from every background, creating a web that can trap anyone, regardless of wealth or status. But why do so many stay caught in these toxic relationships? And how can we help them break free?

Unlike other books on dating violence, Sweetie isn’t filled with clinical jargon, graphic abuse stories, or detached case studies. Instead, it’s an eye-opening, accessible guide designed to feel like reading a future diary—offering girls the rare opportunity to glimpse what could happen if they ignore the warning signs.

Sweetie helps listeners understand how easily affection can turn controlling, how misplaced loyalty can keep someone stuck, and why jealousy is never romantic. From the rush of early affection to the paralyzing fear of leaving, this book guides girls step by step, showing them how to recognize the red flags and how to escape.

This book is for the girl who is already in an unhealthy relationship and desperately needs a way out, and for every girl who hasn’t yet been caught in the web but needs to be armed with knowledge before it’s too late.

Sweetie is not just a book; it’s a lifeline. It equips young women with the insight of a seasoned professional, helping them to recognize, resist, and reject abusive partners—before the cycle begins.
