Hello. Ive almost finished writing an Autobiography on my life of living with a Violent partner. It includes some very dramatic experiences I had and how it's changed my life. Some for the better and i guess some things have made me read more into peoples behaviours and the signs. Im not as confident as I once was but Im getting there. I hope to get it published so any ideas on a great title would be much apprecitated. I was thinking of "ONCE BITTEN TWICE SHY" Unless anyone can think of something else???

This is a movie title, but Enough would be good.

How about exactly what you said at the beginning of your description, "Living with a Violent Partner" or "My Life of Living with a Violent Partner". To me those sounded great when I read them.
Also, I think it is great that you are writing about your life of living with a violent partner. I was also myself living this way for many years. Reading something on this topic with the author actually having experienced everything you are reading about and not just be some doctor, counselor, etc. who has never really experienced this themselves, just read about it in their school books or heard their patients talk about it, is so much more believable. I think this is so much more helpful for a person any age to read and realize what could happen if they stay and it won't ever be as bad if they leave, and help them deal with and understand things before and after and know they are not alone. I would have loved to read an autobiography like yours when I was in that situation, it would have helped me so much and in so many ways.
Congratulations and I look forward to reading your book. Good Luck!

I Haven't Lived Yet So Young An Un-Blossomed Peach An Un-Blossomed Rose ;) Why do you need to write an autobiography at 14, unless it's for a class assignment?

Submit it to publishers, without a title, or with a simple working one like "Battered". They will have the advantage of reading it (which we haven't, so far) and will thus be much more able to suggest something suitable and snappy, perhaps picking upon one of the sub-themes within your book. Good luck with it. Even if it never gets published, writing it has probably helped you come to some sort of terms with what has happened to you, and will thus help you get on with the rest of your life, which I hope will be happy.

I don't think you should use a cliche, including "once bitten twice shy."
Personally from reading your description above, I like the idea of "Getting There."
Good luck!!

'Once bitten, twice shy' is a bit cheesey. You need something a bit more subtle I think. Perhaps something more personal and less of a sound-bite type thing. But then what do I know?
