This book honestly made me so angry. Incompetent, naive, unrealistic and not afraid of victim-blaming, it offers almost nothing but an incessant insistence on getting therapy. Oh and a great attorney. And lots of help from your family, friends, employer and church. You know, the support network you don’t have because it’s all been stripped away by your abuser. But don’t make excuses like having no access to money, dependent children, no one to help you or the escalating abuse of your partner as you try to leave - after all, you mustn’t make yourself the victim of your own sad story. Just gather up that essential paperwork (like passports, tax returns, birth certificates), save at least two months’ worth of money to cover yourself, fix up a new place to live and firmly tell your abuser you won’t tolerate it any longer. Then you can sail off into a wonderful life and your abuser will totally leave you alone, awed by your newfound strength.
Of course, you’ve already primed them by standing up to them DURING an episode of abuse and they’ve realised how toxic they are, so that helps. I mean, that’s not going to get you beaten or killed, is it?
To cap it all off, Barrie cites research from Wikipedia and recommends two support groups - ON FACEBOOK.
This book is not only absolute trash, it’s potentially dangerous. It could cost someone their life - and that’s extremely serious.

I thought it would be a book about dealing with abusers in or after abusive relationship - with the tips of what and how to say and how to behave. It turned out to be amazing book with the analysis of why the abuser and the victim are behaving like that (with the insight of possible childhood events), what is going on in abuser's and victim's mind in a relationship, how the healthy relationship should look like and the step-by-step guide how to get away from a toxic relationship (including questions you need to answer before you decide to leave) and how to heal yourself after the break-up. Extremely helpful.

Turning my life around.

Emotional Abuse Breakthrough is the first of three books I am reading to overcome my fears and move on with my life. The book was easy to read and helped me recognize abuse and give me strategies to feel confident and put my life back in order. I look forward to reading the books on the signs of emotional abuse and scripts. I need those too.
