Your Mentor!Love....Obsession, Madness  & Mayhem with Stephen Edwards, Author - We’re taught that love is the answer—that once we find it, everything else will fall into place. Safety. Belonging. Healing. But what we rarely talk about is how love, when built on illusion, can quietly take those things away.While writing The Venus Fly Trap, I kept coming back to an uncomfortable truth: some relationships don’t set us free—they slowly close around us. They feel intoxicating at first. Intense. Magnetic. Like finally being seen. But beneath the beauty, there are teeth.We stay longer than we should because leaving forces us to face ourselves. Our patterns. Our fears. Our role in choosing what hurts us. And sometimes, the chaos feels familiar. The intensity masquerades as passion. The drama mimics depth. But adrenaline is not intimacy—and control is not care.A relationship becomes a trap when you start shrinking to survive it. When you walk on eggshells. When your voice softens, your world narrows, and your sense of self slowly erodes. When the fear of leaving outweighs the hope of staying.Here’s what I learned the hard way: awareness is the first act of freedom. Naming the trap. Seeing it clearly. The second is courage—walking away without having all the answers, trusting that peace is worth the uncertainty.Real love doesn’t demand silence or self-betrayal. It expands you. It steadies you. It feels like truth, not tension.And sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is let go—before the jaws close completely.His book is now up on Amazon.
