I have had several long term relationships end in my life and had bounced back. I just could not not put my finger on why my most recent relationship has devastated me. I read every book I could get my hands on regarding relationships, love, bereavment etc nothing really spoke to me. It is such a relief to finally put something tangible with what I have been through. This book is my bible. I am so grateful to have finally found the answers and understanding to what has happened to me. Thank god I found it.

I was abused by my narcissitic mother, and entertained the thought about killing myself for about 10 years.

Although I almost recovered, I still fear people.

This book taught me who I should be wary of to avoid being hurt again. Among many advices in this book about healing methods, ones I found true were laughter, avoidance of evil people, helping others, and religion.

This review is from: The Emotional Rape Syndrome: How to Survive and Avoid It (Paperback)

I have worked through a very difficult divorce from a narcissistic physician. It took me years to figure out that I was dealing with a narcissist, and what that meant. What was never explained in all the narcissistic, behavioral and relational literature to my satisfaction, was the emotional insult that I had suffered! I felt enraged, crazy and bereft, but I couldn't really explain what happened to make me feel the way I felt. I could deal with the abandonment and adultery, but I could not deal with the preplanning that went in to the actual divorce. In all my feverish reading, I have never read any literature until this book that helps me deal with the emotional gutting that happened to me. I feel such relief that there is a name for what happened to me, that I am NOT crazy, and that there is hope for recovery.
