She was trained. Trained by early environments that rewarded accommodation and punished need. Trained by relationships that confirmed: wanting less makes you more lovable. This book names the training, traces it to its source, and begins the work of unlearning it.

You wait past the point where the evidence has spoken. You feel every goodbye before it happens, and brace for loss in the middle of being loved. This book is for the person whose nervous system never received the message that it was safe to arrive. It maps the anxious attachment wound, the slot-machine pull of intermittent love, the reassurance loop, and the double bind of loving someone who cannot quite stay. Then it charts the way out. https://nikitadatar.com/images/book-cover-was-it-abuse/ 2026-02-28T00:00:00.000Z https://nikitadatar.com/images/books/was-it-abuse.png Was It Abuse? — Book Cover When harm is subtle, it becomes easier to doubt yourself than to name it.
