5.0 out of 5 starsThis book is a treasure chest full of wisdom!
By theresa griffin on April 14, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I have all of Lundy Bancroft's books and they are life changing. I am now extremely educated about my abusive spouse. After 20 years of marriage I finally had the courage to separate and seek peace for myself and my 19 year old son. I love this newest book. It is giving me tremendous confidence because I know the truth about what has been done to me, and, how hard I've tried.

5.0 out of 5 starsRequired reading for victims of domestic abuse
By amy przywara on May 22, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I have to deal with a man who is controlling and abusive for the next seventeen years because we share a child. This book has been very helpful in reminding me not to get caught up in the smoke and mirrors he uses to try and break me down, not to go back during the "nice" part of the cycle because it's just a game for him, and how to make sure my child isn't damaged by his inability to love.

When someone devotes all of their mental energy trying to tear you down, steal your joy, and make you question everything because you have been lied to so many times, you need to realize what they are doing and have a constant reminder that the problem is with them, not you, and you are not alone. This book does that.

I also recommend the book this is a companion for, "Why Does He Do That?" which details different types of abusers and the tactics they use. Knowing who you are dealing with helps you from being blindsided because you know what to expect. There are also resources to get help.

5.0 out of 5 starsI enjoy the learning experience
By DEBI on June 14, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
As with the first book I ever read by author Lundy Bankcroft, (Why Does He Do That?), this daily view and read is stunning in so many ways. I enjoy the learning experience, that is for sure! Every woman should read this book... every Family Practice attorney should read this book, in fact, every Judge that oversees a case involving an abused spouse SHOULD read this book!

By Cheryl on June 7, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Bancroft's books are life-changing for those who are victims of abuse as well as those who help them. Bancroft removes all the blinders. The abuser's tactics are exposed so that they lose their power to deceive. This particular book of "Daily Wisdom" is a treasure for those who are trying to heal. Often, they need small bites of truth in the confusing process of recovery. The truths are like keys of escape from a dungeon of horrors.

5.0 out of 5 starsMust Read
By Sheryl Empey on April 12, 2015
Format: Paperback
Excellent Book. Full of insight into abusive partners. It gave me an entirely different view of the manipulating powers of an abuser whether the abuse is physical or emotional.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Real Eye Opener!
By E. J. Kennedy on July 14, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I run a domestic abuse support group and this is the BEST book I've ever read on domestic abusers. There are many books out there on abusive relationships and abuse victims, but nothing on the abuser like this. If you've ever had the idea that the abuse was your fault or been made to feel like you deserve to be yelled at, ignored, given the silent treatment or treated with suspicion, then you really need to read this book. It doesn't matter what your abuser claims makes him/her so abusive. Too much stress? I don't think anyone has more stress in their life than an abuse victim. Not enough sex? Who wants to have sex with someone who is mean to them? Abusive childhood? Then he/she has even less of an excuse to abuse someone else because they know what it feels like. If you've come to Amazon looking for books on domestic abuse, then you already know something is not right in your relationship. Get this book. It will be like getting the keys to your jail! I can't tell you how many copies I've given away.

By Monica Linderman on July 11, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This author understands and describes best what it is like to live with an abusive partner. This book will impregnate you with hope for a better life. He gently helps you to face the reality of your situation. His compassionate understanding has penetrated my shame and helped me to face the truth about my life. He understood me better than I understood myself. He revealed the confusion and the illusion that kept me stuck in an abusive relationship for years. I highly recommend this book. It will impart strength for you to take action. NO MORE ABUSE!
