Playing in my Face
When Love, Loyalty & Silence Cost You too Much
How long do you stay when love keeps costing you more than it gives?
Playing in My Face is a compassionate, unfiltered exploration of relationships where love was uneven, silence was costly, and loyalty was mistaken for endurance. Written in the voice of a wise, trusted friend, this book speaks directly to women who stayed too long, tried too hard, and quietly blamed themselves for someone else's refusal to change.
Through real-life stories and reflective insight, author Vgdawson unpacks what it really means when someone keeps showing you who they are and expects you to accept less. From loving potential instead of reality, to mistaking patience for strength, to realizing that silence can be a form of deception, this book names the truths many women feel but struggle to say out loud.
This is not a book about bitterness or regret.
It's about recognition, release, and resilience.
Inside these pages, you'll find:
Honest stories rooted in lived experience.
Gentle guidance without judgment or blame.
Reflections that help you understand why leaving takes time.
Validation that it was never your fault.
Permission to rewrite your story on your own terms.
If you've ever felt unseen, unheard, or emotionally exhausted trying to make love work, Playing in My Face will remind you that choosing yourself is not selfish; it's necessary.
It's never too late to stop surviving and start living with clarity and peace.
