I found this book quite by accident after leaving a verbally abusive relationship of twenty five years. The book provided answers to a lot of unanswered questions for me. As I married the first man I dated I had nothing to compare to and true to form he isolated me from friends and family. Being separated for three years I still refer to various chapters for verification after having to meet with him. Through this book I have helped my daughter to recognize misogyny and it may be difficult for her to accept this is her Father hopefully this will not be part of her life as an adult. |

When I read this book my life was in emotional chaos. I tried reading Woman Who Love Too Much by Robin Norwood but I could not get the message behind it because my self-esteem had been so undermined by the misogynist that I was with. In order for me to start work on myself I had to first recognize that I was not damaged goods. My self-worth had almost been eradicated. I prayed to God fervently in tears for answers, and then he introduced me to Ms. Forwards book (it was quoted in The Pleasers, a book about women who cannot say no.) It was a shock to realize that this man really did love me and that there was nothing wrong with me, but something very wrong with him. You see, he had me convinced that I was in need of some serious overhauling. He used the Bible as a club to hit me over the head with every time I tried to talk to him about his abusive behavior, and even though I was an intelligent, sensitive, giving woman, he had me convinced that I was an abusive, controlling, unspiritual, horrible person. Ms. Forward helped me get things in perspective, and I plan to sow the sees of self-love, confidence, respect and self-worth in my own daughter so that when she meets this kind of a man (and she will) she can tell him to take a flying leap off of a tall cliff! |

I bought this book because my family and friends were telling me that my boyfriend was emotionally abusing me. I didn't want to believe that, but decided to find out what emotional abuse was. This book showed me that I was being abused and that I needed to change some of my own attitudes and behaviors to save my own self-esteem. I found out that though my boyfriend does love me (or thinks he does) he doesn't know how to be with me without hurting me and tearing me down constantly. By being passive and trying to please him I was letting him know it was okay to yell at me and call me names. This book gave me the courage to break off a relationship that was slowly dismantling my life and start to like myself again. I highly recommend this book to anyone who even suspects that they might be in an abusive relationship. |

This book gave me the clarity and strength to stay out of a horrifically abusive marriage. Had I not read this, and also Christian Men Who Hate Women, I might have gone back to my misogynistic husband. It hit me like a bolt of lightning between the eyes - finally I saw that I was never the problem, and that "forgiving" him one more time and "trusting God" and crawling back would solve nothing! In my case, the abuse and misogyny were hidden behind a facade of religiosity which was nothing but a cover for my husband's lunacy. He made me feel guilty for not being a "submissive wife" and pulled the Bible on me a lot (like other men might pull a gun on their wives and with as much malice), but this book made me see that there was no difference between my husband and rank heathen who rip their wives apart with barrages of four-letter words. His heart and intent was the same, and the results were the same - the wholesale evisceration of myself as an individual soul, personality, and essence.
I can't thank Susan Forward enough for explaining to me, in a way that I could understand, how my husband could be so wonderful one hour and so vicious the next, and that even though he claimed that he would be wonderful all the time if I would just change and be what he wanted, that was a load of crock.
I now know that my husband had every one of the warning signs that he was about to cross over into physical violence - signs such as irrational jealousy of other men and "locking me down" to prevent me from going anywhere, and that I got out in the nick of time to save myself and my children. This book whetted my appetite for more books on domestic violence which shed even more life on my hellish marriage and my need for a divorce. Highly recommended. |
