Still Standing is a raw and deeply personal account of surviving emotional abuse, losing your sense of self, and finding the strength to rebuild from the inside out.

This is not just a story — it’s recognition.

If you’ve ever felt:

• Confused in a relationship you couldn’t explain

• Slowly worn down without knowing why

• Like you lost who you were trying to keep the peace

This book gives words to what you may have lived through.

Written with honesty and clarity, Richard J Vale shares the reality of enduring what isn’t always visible — and what it takes to come back from it.

This is for those who:

• Stayed longer than they should have

• Questioned their own reality

• Are trying to understand what really happened

And most of all, for those learning that survival is not weakness — it’s adaptation.

You’re still here. And that matters.
