4.0 out of 5 stars Create the Relationship You Want, July 15, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Who's to Blame? Escape the Victim Trap and Gain Personal Power in Your Relationships (Paperback)
This book enabled me to take a hard look at my relationship and identify the source of my unhappiness. I could start to see how I was partially responsible for the bad treatment I had been getting from my husband by not putting my foot down. As I woman, I think we all have a tendency to just hope our mate will understand why we're not happy. This helped to me to articulate the problems to my spouse and not be a particpant in my own victimization. Also it gave me a better undestanding of how relationships can suffer from mismanaged anger, fear, and power.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book will help YOU get CONTROL of your FEELINGS!, April 4, 1999
This review is from: Who's to Blame? Escape the Victim Trap and Gain Personal Power in Your Relationships (Paperback)
I have to say that this is one of my most treasured books. It's insight is direct, and very sensible. If you have a relationship that you have trouble understanding, I am sure this book will help you understand it. It has greatly helped my relationship with my wife. If you are seeing a marriage counselor, you must have this book (and a highlighter!) I still refer to parts of it after having it for two months. It is well written, It does not beat around the bush, it is not frilly, it is very meaty and will not leave you pondering about what the author is trying to tell you. I am in control of my feelings, and this book greatly helps me in maintaining that. Jade Clayton Author- McGraw-Hill Illustrated Telecom Dictionary
