The first step in your recovery!, 14 Jun 2002
So, you've been through a bad time, you can't seem to come out the other side smiling , or maybe you can't even find the way out. So you are recommended to buy 'women who love too much'. You sit, you read, you cry, you read and somewhere, fairly near the start of the book, you realise that you are reading about yourself.
So cleverly worded it is too that you realise that once you posess this book, you have in fact taken the first step in your addiction recovery,
You need to keep it as a reference point because the journey that you're on now will be the hardest one you have ever embarked upon, believe me, I'm doing it while you read.
But it will work and now you are on the right road....

Powerful, 11 Feb 2001
By A Customer
Robin Norwood is a very good writer, with an important message. Her book is an excellent challenge for any person (male or female) who knows that somehow their interaction and the way they relate to their partner is not quite 'right'. It explains in detail what the cuases are, and then guides you through different stages. The conclusion is powerful, and gives one the courage to do something about life, rather than sit back and 'wish it would get better'. The bibliography is also very helpful.

Big help, 30 Jan 2003
By A Customer
You think that the elusive "perfect" relationship is your every fix? You find yourself in relationships where you think, "if only him and I work on this, we'd be so happy"? Or you'd always get dumped, but the chap can't give a reason that makes sense to you, or he tells you that you're ever so nice and lovely but just not for him? Does that ring a bell? Perhaps your friends are of the opinion that you're giving too much, they might even tell you to simply stop obsessing over him! Outsh, harsh! Maybe you feel exhausted, hopeless, helpless inadequate and/or incapable of having a relationship, perhaps you even cynically make jokes about joining a convent. Or you think that you're scaring "them" off, driving them away. That's probably why you're still reading.... at least I felt like that when I went out looking for this book! To describe: It's not about how many buckets of tears you cry whilst reading. It's not about how uncanny the examples might match your own life. It's about the message behind it: I payed attention to my fresh and bleeding emotional wounds and old and ugly mental scars. In order to heal them, I apply the suitable remedy in my own time, with my own hands. I continue reading related literature, take the suggested steps fitting my circumstances and sit back, relax and see how my life takes a turn for the better, and how people who love me and care for me are literally touched, too. I have realised that there is no gap in my life, no void, no emptiness but instead I'm working on getting full of myself in the nicest possible way! That's all. A book simple to understand, easy to relate to.
