Someone on this site suggested that I read two self-help books, so I looked them up on Amazon and read a few pages of each one. They both look very interseting and seem like they would be useful for me so I ordered them. I also looked for them at my local library and found one, which I checked out so I can start on it while I wait for it in the mail. It's called Women Who Love Too Much by Robin Norwood. It should be helpful to me because my ex can be such an awful person, but can also be very manipulative. I have tried leaving him several times in the past few years and filed for divorce in 09, but he always comes back to me begging for another chance. I need to overcome this and be strong enough to say "NO" next time he comes crawling back.

I'm hoping this book proves helpful and I will journal about it on my page..

I read it a very long time ago,
and remember how good I thought it was then.

If I'm not mistaken theres a members group on DS with that as its name.

Kourt, read my new book "Women Who Themselves More Than Them". It's a compilation of personal stories of women who let go of the crap because they learned it just took up valuable time in their lives that they'd rather spend being happy, proactive, and creative.

WOW, just reading the first 15 pages is a real eye opener!!!

NewAgain, how do I find your book?

I was being a tad facetious, and yet I wasn't. Point being, all of those books are wonderful and have their place, but truthfully there are women everywhere that are rising above, refusing to be miserable, live unhappily and in poor quality unhealthy ways and moving on to happiness. Just don't get stuck in the problem and let life pass you by :)

Another book that I just finished this past week that was amazing was:

The Art of Being a Woman Alone On My Own: by Florence Falk

I highlighted my favorite parts and then typed them up.

I am taking my write-up to my therapist tomorrow to start a self-discovery and growth process.

I think this book may change my life for the good!

Women Who Love Too Much is a really good book. Another book I really like and have read more than once is How to Break Your Addiction to a Person by Howard Marvin Halpern
