5.0 out of 5 stars an excellent, life-changing book!, February 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Heal a Painful Relationship and If Necessary How to Part As Friends (Paperback)

This book is truly changing my life! We may not realize, until reading this book, how many painful relationships we have (work, family, significant other, etc.), how much of that pain we either create or return, how many expectations we have of others, and how much we try to change others to suit our "shoulds". More importantly, we also don't realize how much healing power we have within us to greatly improve these same relationships! Mr. Ferguson gives us big hope, and then makes that hope tangible by teaching very practical, logical, sensible ways that we can change ourselves to change our relationships. Thank you, Mr. Ferguson, for giving me the hope and the tools to allow my heart to love others as I've wanted to for so long.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Enlightening, April 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Heal a Painful Relationship and If Necessary How to Part As Friends (Paperback)

Mr. Ferguson is truely a God-send. The information in this book should be mandatory reading for all married couples whether they are considering divorce or not. Even singles would benefit from the information in this book. Many people trapped in the cycle of conflict with there life are not even aware where the problem is. This book gives us insight and points us in the right direction. Thank you Mr. Ferguson.

This review is from: How To Heal A Painful Relationship - and if necessary, part as friends (Kindle Edition)

My ex-boyfriend cheated on me before. But I somehow forgave him and stayed with him while he lost his career during this bad economy. I loved him, but I always had this feeling that he would cheat on me again, I always had to deal with this unthinkable anxiety and negative feeling about his faithfulness even after having his promise not to cheat on me again.

I bought my Kindle recently, and I was browsing through the Kindle store just to see what was available, and I came across with this book. I had to admit it; I knew I was in a painful relationship with all the anxiety and worry. I bought the book, and I took memo as I read. At the end, I was a different person. I decided to let my relationship go although I loved him more than anything. I realized that it was not healthy at all for me or him after reviewing my situation as I read this book.

I finished reading this book yesterday, and I became a single woman today.
