FOLLOW UP TO HER SMASH BESTSELLER

With letters from love addicts recovered or recovering this is a very good book. And from my review of her previous book: Are you hooked in harmful relationships? Holding onto some dim hope that your loved one will change if your loyalty/love is there for them UNCONDITIONALLY? Unable to break a long pattern of choosing women haters,violent batterers, charming seductive MANIPULATORS whose only goal was to drive you crazy? If you choose those who ignore your self-worth now you can perhaps see why! The batterer may be physically abusive, or more subtle with emotionally & verbally abusive ways and You want so to believe lies & excuses! If you've been in a relationship that you knew or suspected was harmful but could NOT leave, you know the pain of addiction to a person. Heres WHY people became love addicted HOW to recognize a bad relationship HOW to deal with the MANIPULATION of your partner THESE books arent just 'collections of horror stories'..they could save someones life!

One of the best things that ever happened to me

This book (along with the original Women Who Love Too Much) is perhaps the single most powerful book that I have read on my quest to recover from relationship addiction. Any woman who wants her man to change so that the relationship can get better needs to read this book. It may save her life and will definitely save her heart.

Life-changing

This book was life-changing for me. Not only did I find myself relating to the women who wrote the letters, but I found myself nodding in agreement to Norwood's responses and suggestions. She has a creative way of making suggestions that make you want to learn more.

Norwood knows relationship addiction & how to recover

I found this book at the perfect time. I needed help to get over divorce after a twenty-year marriage to an abusive Vietnam veteran. It helped me realize that I had a lot of work to do on myself, if I wanted to ever achieve a healthy relationship. It helped me be strong enough to say no, when my ex called and wanted to get back together. I am now in a loving, sane marriage and I give Norwood and the letters from other women who love too much, credit for helping me regain sanity and to teach me about the deadly consequences of relationship addiction. I can never thank these women enough. If you are in a problem relationship, you must read this book. It is outstanding. Norwood pulls no punches; yet her compassion shines through. Excellent!!
