My Review
4☆ A Thought Provoking, Raw and Poignant Read
Signs in the Rearview Mirror: Leaving A Toxic Relationship Behind is a powerfully honest and emotional look into an abusive relationship and breaking free.
Dating someone is always a scary yet exciting time. We can only go on first impressions as we get to know each other.
But what happens when things change. The person who you thought you knew turned out to be abusive.
Could you walk away?
It's easy for people to judge but until you have been in that situation, I don't think it's easy to say.
Well this is exactly what happened to Kelly.
She knew Gabe from school. So when they make contact with each other via social media, Kelly never imagined that their seemingly perfect relationship would become Toxic and abusive.
Gabe is manipulative, controlling, and mentally abuses Kelly.
You ask why doesn't she just walk away?
Well what this book does is explain just that...!
I felt alot of compassion towards Kelly, she hasn't had the easiest of starts. We all long for happiness and love, no one wants to face the world alone.
But watching her gain her strength and courage to break free was uplifting and powerful.
Signs in the Rearview Mirror is a thought provoking, raw and poignant read. It's a powerful story of hope and courage.
Delving into the cycle of abuse women and men can find themselves in and the journey and strength to break free.
I applaud Author Kelly Smith for being so raw and open and laying her emotions out there.
This book will definitely help people to understand more about abusive relationships, but also people will be able to relate to Kelly's story.
I urge you to read this powerful book.

Extract
This is where I leave you. This is where I leave all the good and the bad memories. This is where it ends and I finally let you go. After a year of playing the longest game of tug of war, I give up. My hands are tired from holding this rope, the blisters are breaking and so am I. So i’m waving my white flag. I realize I need to move on and let you do the same. The past year presented itself with pain, agony, recovery, laughter, tears of sadness, loss and of happiness.
But I will always carry a piece of you wherever I go. I will keep our memories and our broken promises tucked away in safe place and they will only be brought out when I absolutely miss you the most. They will keep me grounded and keep me away from you. I will hold on to the taste of your lips and how your voice sounds on a landline. I will think of you when someone walks by wearing your cologne, and remember the day we picked it out. I will keep your shirt hanging in my closet until I can’t see it any longer. I will take our pictures off my phone and laptop, but I will save them on a disk, in case one day I want to remember more than what my memory will allow. Between that day and today, I will slowly replace the memories and the pictures in my mind with new ones. Not of a new man right away, but of the flower garden I have decided to plant, of the cooking lessons I recently started, the boat dock finally floating and of the new puppy that arrived last night.
I won't forget the lessons you taught me, you taught me many. Because of you I now know how to recognize red flags, and how to change out AC filters. I will change my own oil and I will run at the first sight of a controlling man. I will remember how it felt to be called names and how it felt to call someone names and I will change that. I will figure out who I am and I will take this time to date myself and fall in love with me.
You were both good and bad for me and I was the same for you. We tried and we did not work. At times we were happy but more often than not we were miserable. But this is where I leave you. This is where I start over and this is where I discover me and what kind of a woman I want to be. This is where my life without you begins. This is where we go our separate ways and see which direction life takes us.
This is where I leave you.
