I was married to a controlling abusive person for 8 years before I filed divorce - I read this book soon after & it's helped me cope with and control the reins on my life, and keep my children's life sane and stable despite his attempts to be a control freak.

Odd conversations that sparked him to attack me, that had never made sense, are explained in this book. Amazing. I didn't feel alone anymore.

I recommend anyone in a friendship/work relationship or other relationship with a control person read this. Also I hope every counselor reads this. Eye opening content and easy to understand examples and options on how to hold ones own mental ground against seemingly unsparked fury or retalliation: It makes it all make sense (Finally!).
