Bailing Out: The Healthy Way to Get Out...

This is an outstanding book for anyone who is even THINKING about leaving their relationship, and is at least as good as TOO GOOD TO LEAVE, TOO BAD TO STAY. I wish I had had this information sooner, but definitely better late than never. They offer excellent advice about how to prevent repeat this tragedy of ill-chosen people for mates. I personally hate leaving, hate saying good-bye, and have a strong need to take responsibility for what is happening in my relationships by owning my part and doing what I can to improve the relationship. However, perhaps I've done this TOO much with the wrong people, and I've paid for this. Extremely healthy people may be hard to find, but aren't they worth waiting for, and in the meantime I have more to give myself when I ensure that all of my associates and intimates are healthy and nurture me. I think I'm way more likely to get what I want out of life and relationships when I choose wisely in this manner.

Great Reading! So timely!

This book just hit the spot for me. What is so great about this book is that it gives you the tools which will lead you to ultimate acceptance and freedom...from your toxic relationship.The authors were quite candid that it takes (cognitive-behavioral) work to heal yourself and that it takes more than overnight.I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is grappling with a not so perfect relationship. Frankly, I couldn't put the book down IT WAS THAT GOOD.

Bailing Out: The Sane Way to Get Out of a Doomed Relationshi

This book was very helpful in the termination of my marriage. Both I and my ex-husband read the book, which made the transition so much easier. I have since purchased this book for my mom, my two daughters, my son, and myself a few times, because I keep loaning it out to co-workers, and they want to keep it. I highly recommend it to anyone who is in a bad relationship and doesn't know how to get out.
