Between Truth and Damage
Eryn and Anthony are a couple locked in a dance of escalating tension, each convinced they are the victim. From the outside, their life together seems idyllic, but within the walls of their home, a silent war rages—fueled by mismatched truths, unspoken resentments, and the insidious power of perception.
Eryn, still reeling from a blindsiding divorce, believes Anthony is gaslighting her, isolating her, making her doubt her own sanity. She meticulously documents every slight, every warped conversation, desperate for proof that her feelings are valid. Yet, a tiny, insidious voice whispers that she might be "too much," always overreacting.
Anthony, burdened by past betrayals and a deep-seated distrust, sees Eryn as the manipulative one, twisting situations, playing the victim, and constantly moving the goalposts. He has his own evidence—screenshots, voicemails—proving he's the one who gives more, sacrifices more, and gets hurt more. He believes she is the one doing the gaslighting.
Told in alternating "He Said / She Said" chapters, Between Truth and Damage plunges readers into the heart of a toxic relationship where love becomes a weapon and truth is a fluid concept. As Eryn quietly plans her escape and Anthony desperately tries to regain control, the lines between emotional truth and emotional abuse blur, leaving the reader to piece together the shattered reality and when the damage is done, can anyone truly say who held the weapon, and who bore the scars?
