Summary

Read by the authors.

You or someone you love may be in a toxic relationship, but it doesn't have to stay that way. In this compassionate and practical resource, Stephanie Quayle shares her powerful story alongside psychologist Dr. W. Keith Campbell's professional insights to give you the help and hope you need—and remind you that you are not alone.

When Stephanie lost her boyfriend in a plane crash, she faced intense grief and pain. Nothing compared, though, to the shock of discovering she had not been the only woman in his life. As her world unraveled around her, Stephanie realized that it had actually been unraveling from the start of their relationship—back when he promised her everything.

In Why Do We Stay? Stephanie draws on her story to explain how to spot a toxic relationship, how to get out, and how to heal. Mental health expert Dr. W. Keith Campbell joins her in helping you see that:

  • You can make a change in your life.
  • There are warning signs to look for and ways to spot an unhealthy relationship.
  • You don’t have to be a victim to narcissism or gaslighting or lose years of your life.
  • Whether you stay in or leave your relationship, healing and freedom are possible.

Why Do We Stay? is ideal for:

  • Those who feel trapped in an unhealthy relationship.
  • Those who are recovering from a toxic relationship.
  • Listeners searching for a resource—for themselves or for a friend—on narcissism, gaslighting, compulsive lying, and other destructive behaviors.

With a powerful blend of clinical research, gripping storytelling, and unvarnished hope, Why Do We Stay? empowers you to make changes in your life. You are not alone.

Discover a way forward.

Per aspera ad astra

Even if you don't think you're in a toxic relationship you need to read this book, or listen to the audiobook. This book has it all, the fairytale life that ended in an earth shattering lie being exposed, dealing with the hurt that came with that lie, the build up of insecurities after being beaten down by a narcissistic partner, then the slow and hard climb to wellness and the entity belief of a better future. Enforcing the fact that we're all worthy of happiness, love. and being treated the right way.

male or female, this book will help you see the signs from those you're in a relationship with, and the signs within yourself that will protect you from making the same mistake again and again, showing your worth and believing in yourself.

thank you for bearing your heart and soul
