The Torn Episodes Nine culminates progressively from the day Sara Niles simultaneously became a religious convert to a cult, and a victim of an abusive husband, throughout the gradual process of her own brainwashing and awakening. Trapped in a hopeless situation with no way of escape, Sara reaches the end of her ordeal in a fight for her life. Two female acquaintances had been murdered by two of Thomas's childhood friends and Thomas promised Sara that she will never leave him and remain alive, that he was going to put her 'in the ground' like his two friends had done to their wives.

"I will kill you and every one of those kids before I let you take them from me," he had promised her with dead, cold, eyes. He would rather die than 'lose.'

A life-changing and life-threatening decision made in a split second had been building. Life or death hung in the balance for not only twenty-nine-year-old Sara, but for her five small children as well.

Broad Reaching

The Story of Sara Niles as chronicled via the Torn Episodes, is not a new story, but an old, broad reaching story that has reached pandemic levels globally, as hundreds of millions experience childhood trauma in dysfunctional families. Although domestic abuse and homicide is rampant, it is unusual for people like Sara Niles to survive, to gain academic resources and career experience needed to author The Torn Episodes.

The uniqueness of Sara's Story lies in the deep insight and psychological accuracy delving into the processes of both growth an devolution of victims and perpetrators, in one work of memoirs.

Powerful

The era of knowledge opens doors of the mind that remained closed for thousands of years. The toxic syndromes, common within families impacted by domestic violence and psychological abuse, previously had no name, nor labels until the last one hundred years or so. Narcissism, egocentrism, pathological deviance, and the defense mechanisms developed and named by Anna Freud, have existed in practice since the inception of humanity, yet without the advancement of psychology and the social sciences, little was understood. Domestic violence was only recognized for its ugly role in family dysfunction, in the last fifty years, as the movement to establish agencies and funding led to greater awareness.

Sara Niles experienced the worst and most dangerous type of abuse by the most lethal type of abuser, long before domestic violence agencies were established. The Family Annihilator will kill to win, and it is always about winning. The All or Nothing mentality of a malignant narcissist with Dark Tetrad traits, leaves no room for escape.

The Torn Episodes Nine, finality.

Sara Niles was born in the late 1950's and fell victim to religious cultism and extreme domestic violence by the early 1070's while still in her teens. Thomas Niles gained control of Sara and kept that toxic hold on her until 1987, during a rogue thunderstorm, when the most dangerous time of Sara's young life loomed.
