Finally understanding the bizarre reality I find myself in.
This short read has finally given me insight and understanding of the bizarre life I’ve found myself in since I married a BP.
I was shocked, hurt and overwhelmed by my spouses wild unpredictable lightning fast mood swings, rage and impulsive behaviors. I could not wrap my head around his behavior or find any way to correct or fix what was wrong.
This read is very clear and accurate in explaining and identifying what is really happening in the mind of my spouse and why he acts the way he does.
It has helped to keep me adrift in this storm instead of drowning.

So On Point! Can Only Be Written From Experience
This book can only be written by someone who has experienced being married to someone with BPD. If you have been blessed enough not to have these experiences, you cannot author a book such as this. I found reading it to be consoling in helping me to know that I was NOT losing MY mind. Even though the book is short, it is powerful.

sounded like the author had the disorder
This book came off as nothing more than an uneducated revenge piece. According g to the author it is normal to stay mad for days. That is extremely unhealthy and excessive. Healthy people communicate, forgive and move in rather than staying stuck on one thing for days.

Very conformational
This was very well written and well put together however it left me with the feeling of “OK now what.” when I was finished.
What we really need are real life survival tools and advice that are more than “Run like hell and call a divorce lawyer”

Excellent overview in simple language
Clearly a “short read” format to encourage the reader to buy the next 2 books. But very accurate. I was already far down the path, having read MANY books on BPD. Yet, all of his stories ring true.

One star because if you have read “Roses and Rage” by the same author, there’s nothing new in this book.

It hurts to see these things written down. I'm scared but also feel validated knowing that other people are going through similar things that I am.
