Should be required reading for everyone
This book is extremely helpful in navigating relationships with people that you love and that you want to strengthen, though have some dysfunction in them. It helps one to stand on their own and learn to take care of their own needs first and not to feel guilty about that.

Such a helpful book!
My therapist recommended this to me and I'm so grateful that she did. It really opened my eyes to alot of my patterns and behaviors. I've read it multiple times already and I've only have it a few months!

10 STARS!!! This book changed my life and it saved my life!
At the time I bought this book people kept encouraging me to read it because I was in a four year relationship with a heroin user who was physically emotionally verbally abusive. He cheated often and refused to let me go. And I refuse to let him go. I wasn’t sure why I felt I needed his love and I needed him to be around me and I needed to control him, but I did. And that just contributed to my feelings of shame. I wanted to die. I often thought about suicide. I read chapter one and two and for the first time I was able to get the strength to leave him. It took about a month and a half but I left him and that was three years ago. I have not gone back to him. But surprisingly two months after I left him he got into recovery. I was already in recovery for a couple of years. I now have 5 1/2 years clean. He now has 2 1/2 years clean. We’re not necessarily friends because he still has some of the same behaviors but the most important part is I have moved on. I’m still dealing with all of my grief and healing and trauma that happened long before him. But this book showed me how to focus on myself. I finally got my credit together. I finally moved out of low-cost housing. I finally got a job Making a lot of money like I always wanted to. And I finally purchased a preparatory course for the LSAT because I plan on going to law school. Buy this book and read it!!!
