Fractured Fidelity: Healing Broken Bonds

Imagine a child raised in a home where love was unpredictable-sometimes tender, sometimes terrifying. Imagine that same child growing up, seeking partners who recreate that emotional chaos because it feels familiar. That is the silent root of trauma bonding.

You may think you're broken because you keep going back. You're not. You're bonded.
And bonds formed in trauma are often stronger than logic, warnings, or even pain
.
Trauma bonding occurs when abuse is mixed with intermittent kindness, confusion, and dependency. Your brain begins to link pain with connection, adrenaline with intimacy, and suffering with loyalty. It rewires your definition of love.

This book is not a clinical manual, though it's grounded in psychological truth.
It's not a memoir, though you'll find stories that feel like yours.
It is a mirror, a roadmap, and sometimes-an intervention.

What you'll discover in these chapters is the anatomy of trauma bonding-how it forms, how it traps, and most importantly, how to break it. You'll learn not just why you stayed, but how to reclaim your power, rebuild trust in yourself, and create love that doesn't hurt.

Because love should never make you question your worth.
Because healing is your birthright.
Because staying broken is not your destiny.

This is your call to rise.
