When Love Is Not Enough is a powerful and intimate true story about the silent battles that happen behind closed doors—where love, pain, and hope collide.
Patrizio Reale opens his heart and revisits the darkest and most fragile chapters of his life: a relationship consumed by addiction, the weight of emotional instability, and the constant attempt to protect a child who understood far too much at far too young an age.
Through nights of fear, moments of tenderness, and the painful arrival of the police, this book reveals the emotional cost of loving someone who cannot save themselves.
It is not a story of blame, but of truth.
Not a story of heroes, but of human beings breaking under the weight of love and responsibility.
In these pages, Patrizio shares:
- the woman he loved when she shone
- the woman she became when alcohol took over
- the little girl caught in the storm
- and the man who slowly lost himself trying to hold everything together
This book is a journey through fragility, courage, and emotional rebirth.
It is a reminder that
love alone does not heal all wounds—and sometimes, the bravest choice is to save yourself.
A raw, emotional, and unforgettable testimony that will stay with you long after you turn the last page.
