Overview

Abuse & Betrayal is author Richard Joseph's deeply personal autobiographical account of his experiences with marriage, divorce, and the effects of his ex-wife's behavior. Sure to strike a chord with anyone who has ever been in a dysfunctional relationship or divorce situation, it follows the couple from happy beginnings to their tumultuous divorce, and describes the abuse and alienation Richard faced during and after the marriage. Richard's narration touches upon sensitive topics such as the emergence of his ex-wife's narcissistic personality, her obsession with status, and the inappropriate behavior she exhibited. But the most raw and exposed of his passages are those dedicated to describing his ex-wife's attempts at alienating him from his daughters, which makes Abuse & Betrayal a story not just about Richard's divorce, but also about his feelings and efforts toward parenting and fatherhood. Filling a void in the media market, Abuse & Betrayal delivers a story uniquely told from the male perspective and draws attention to important issues that too often get swept under the rug. Through Richard's encounters with lawyers, the courts, and prison, it raises questions about the fairness of the divorce process in our country and speaks to the biases in the legal and judicial systems.
