Rate this book
Are you being bullied and manipulated and made to feel it's your fault? Is your self-worth being stripped away by an abusive partner who treats you like a household appliance?
Nothing is more DAMAGING than living with an emotional abuser whose controlling and crazy-making behaviors are causing you to feel afraid, depressed and alone.Physical abuse leaves visible scars, but emotional abuse wounds you to the core.
You know you're in pain, and you feel isolated, unloved, and even frightened. But your abuser has an uncanny way of turning the tables on you and denying the abuse.

You just wish your partner would finally wake up and treat you with the love, kindness and respect you long for. But no matter what you do, nothing changes.


An abusive bully uses mind games, control, verbal abuse, and other narcissistic traits.


Bestselling author Barrie Davenport will clear up the confusion about whether or not your partner's behavior is really abuse. Even if you're hopeless about your situation, Emotional Abuse Breakthrough will open your eyes and empower you for the future.


Victims often fear if they stand up for themselves, their partner will leave or make things worse. But once you draw a line in the sand and demand a more mature relationship, your abuser will have to make a choice -- either change the behaviors or risk losing you. Even if your partner refuses to change, you can feel more confident and in control until you decide your next steps.

How to restore your shattered identity and sense of self How to cope with hopelessness and despair in long-term abuse How to stick to your non-negotiable boundaries, even if it means walking out the door The critical, iron-clad deal breakers that should cause you to pack your bags How to successfully navigate inner conflict and turmoil about leaving How to effectively confront your abuser about their unacceptable behaviors What it really takes for an abuser to make lasting change How to manage the resistant abuser if you choose to stay How to protect your children from an emotional abuser The 11-step preparation plan before you walk out the door The self-esteem boosting blueprint for a stronger new you The power of personal responsibility and a growth mindset How to establish the new baseline for a healthy, intimate relationship to use for life The next steps to create an abuse-free future

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.
