Customer Reviews

This book is very informative

This book has a lot of great information. I did like her book the Verbally abusive relationship more. But this one did help me understand more about what I went through and further my recovery. I loved that it talked about the toll the abuse takes on your physical body. You cannot get physically healthy if you are being put down and Verbally abused non stop. Thank you for writing books to help women recognize, escape and recover from abuse. The weekly affirmations that are at the end of this book are great! They were extremely helpful to me. I read them often and share them with other women. Thank you for writing this book for Women like me. That being said it is sometimes hard to read some of the comments directed to the abuser and his recovery. Sometimes it feels like it is justifying the abuse. I don't know if abusers really can ever change but if they could this would be the book to help them. Overall this is a very helpful book and I am glad I read it.
