5.0 out of 5 stars I learned that I had every right to feel off-ballance., 6 Jun 1999
By A Customer
I stayed in a verbally abusive relationsip longer than I would have if I had not found it so difficult to put my misgivings into words. There was the shame of complaining about behaviors that were on the surface benign or positive or just feelings without words. This book gave me the words and the validation I needed..

I would like to remind the author that women are not the only ones who can suffer verbal abuse, which can be subtle and insidious.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, well worth the time and money!, 9 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This is an important book for EVERYONE to read. I was raised by two very abusive people and often worry I will be one too. This book helped me to see things I may do that are abusive. It also helped me to realize that the person I love does NOT have a split personality but IS verbally abusive. (We all justify it somehow!) It also gave insight into how I should respond so that the abuse will stop or I will move on to a healthier relationship!

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent descriptions and excellent suggestions to handle, 22 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This is the best book I have read about verbal abuse. I am an attorney and come across women (and a few men) who are in verbally and emotionally abusive relationships. Because verbal abuse is usually done in secret, it is not witnessed by others. This book helps the victim understand how to recognize abuse, validates the victim's perception of what is happening and offers solid suggestions as to what to do to control abuse and to protect oneself.
