TW: Domestic violence  

This week Maryellen is joined by her sister-in-law to analyze the domestic violence portrayed in Colleen Hoover’s popular novel, It Ends with Us: 

• Why they thought it was a good depiction of a violent relationship 
• Trauma is not an excuse for abuse  
• There should be more therapy talk in this book   
• Correlation/schemas – the cycle of abuse 
• Romanticizing abuse and toxic sex 
• Red flags and green flags from the characters 
• Manipulation vs. trying to do something nice 
• Victim blaming 

National Domestic Violence Hotline (open 24/7): 800-799-SAFE. Text START to 88788
