Confronting but not hateful or angry. She writes from both her own experience and that of couples she has counselled, it EXPLAINS so much - and gently too.

A lot of these books leave me feeling as though they are "coming AT you". Insighting rage and even more pain. They have a real man hating aspect to them. The compassion that this author writes with makes turning the pages a little less difficult - even though the topic is nothing short of awful.

This book has been confronting as a mother - it...more

—Para mantenerlo feliz, ¿usted ha renunciado a personas o actividades que eran importantes en su vida?


Es un poco difícil realizar un resumen…ya ha pasado meses que leí (3 aproximadamente) pero bien dicen lo que bien se aprende no se olvida.
Este libro llegó a mi vida gracias a Osiris Vargas, una proveedora de mi trabajo con la cual llevo buenas relaciones y que me dio buenos consejos en los momentos más oportunos. Supo de mi reto y me paso el link de libro. Lo descargue, lo imprimí y manos a la...more

I think this book is important enough for everyone to read. I believe that you will find something that rings true to your own experience. The only thing I do not like is the seperation of experiences based on the gender of the individual. For example it may say if the Mother behaved this way then the son will react in this way. I don't believe that these experiences and results can be seperated by the gender of the parties they are much more universal than is expressed in this book.

Shed welcome light on a painful problem with a friend. I would highly recommend it for anyone who found themselves in a friendship or relationship with someone with emotionally abusive tendencies. Checked out a number of books on the topic and this, along with one other (also on my list) were the two best. Marked five stars mostly for the profoundly validating and clarifying effects it had on me.

This psychological book is not meant as a novel. Yet i read it with an eye-opening interest about why women can stay with wife-beaters, control-freaks, manipulating creeps and husbands who slowy sufficate the women who love them so much. It pushed me into the direction of wanting to help people and start counceling, which brought me to where i am today.
Michaela Renee
The book is strongly aimed at female "victims" I found a lot of beneficial information regarding female childhood experiences that lead to adult-misogynistic relationships.

She offered a fair amount of solutions towards the end of the book, perhaps most poignantly the "Bill of Rights" to emotions/feelings and key catch phrases in heated moments.

I think the word "hatred" was strong and that the element of the male past/history is ignored, the book seems more "entertainment" than fact in a lot of w...more

This book is for women who believe they're in a relationship with a misogynist. The author helps readers recognize the signs by using clear examples. A must read for anyone who is looking for answers.

Very good book for women who keep choosing the wrong man. It may have to do with the fact that your own father was a woman hater!

Many insights are possible through this book & the writer's suggestions!

Gave this book to two friends who went through what I had with my ex husband. It helped both them and myself come to terms with a bad relationship. This book changed my life for the better.

A great book. Anyone who is in or has ever been in a relationship with someone that they just can not seem to please should read this book. The rlationships that starts out being wonderful but now makes you feel low or your partner makes you apprehensive will finally be put into the light. The courage to help fix the situation will eventually emerge.
Maryann
An eye opening book on what I was living in the 80's. I thought I was the only one! This book gave me the strength to finally stand up to my abuser!
Sandra
I picked up the book as a gift for my cousin but instead I kept it. I found that it helped me find closure after my divorce.
Jeannine
I got this after my divorce. It was not something I wanted to read b/c it made me think of the past. I hate dwelling!!
Kim
Read in my late 20s when choosing all the wrong men. Learned a lot I didn't want to know (but really already did).
Sherri
This book helped to enlighten me on my situation with my ex-husband. It literally helped save my life.
Catherine Adde
Helped me get out of a very abusive situation and
regain my life and self back. Not just for women.
Paul Sheppard
Great book which helps those struggling in repetitive negative relationship scenarios.
Denise
A bit oversimplified. Still, provided plenty to chew on and an easy read.

Un libro que básicamente habla del lado oscuro de algunas relaciones. Cómo una relación que inicia con oleadas de pasión y entregas se convierte en una pesadilla donde aparece el maltrato verbal, psicológico y físico que lleva a la misoginia. Relata cómo las mujeres que están en estas relaciones toleran el maltrato y sumisa acepta toda clase de abusos. Incluye una parte práctica para superar este tipo de relaciones enfermizas y recuperar el autoestima.
Lynde
this book makes a good point, though it's a bit too redundant. we all have daddy issues. this will pinpoint pretty much all of them. after 150 pages you will really get the point. :P

Excelente libro, es un subir y bajar de emociones, pero vaya que me sirvió para salir adelante.

“Föräldrakärlek är den enda kärleken där det slutliga målet måste vara skillsmässa.

En mor som sätter värde på sonens strävan efter oberoende och uppmuntrar honom att skiljas från henne när han behöver det ger honom mycket viktiga verktyg för att handskas med livet. När modern är villig att låta sonen etablera sin egen identitet genom att låta honom ta risker på egen hand och låta honom göra sina egna misstag, och ändå finns till hands om han skulle behöva henne, bidrar hon till att skapa en människa som har förtroende för sig själv och sin förmåga.

Den förkvävande modern hindrar och begränsar i stället sonens utveckling genom att styra honom för mycket och få honom att känna sig oduglig och hjälplös.”

“Alla barn längtar att känna sig trygga, skyddade och älskade av sina föräldrar. De behöver också få lov att växa upp och bli oberoende. Paradoxalt nog kan människor bli oberoende vuxna bara om deras behov av beroende blev fyllt när de var barn. Om deras behov av beroende inte fylldes finns det en värkande tomhet inom dem, och den känslan bär de med sig in i vuxenlivet.” 1 person liked it
