Colleen Allison

This book cuts through all of the myths and excuses and gets to the core of why certain men are abusive: whether physical, emotional, sexual, financial, psychological--it all comes from the same flawed mindset. It's important for women to read this book so that they can understand the mindset of their male abuser and be able to make wise decisions for their safety, children and future. For women who are no longer in a relationship with the abuser, this book helps her to heal by understanding there was NOTHING she could have done to change her abusive partner. The abusers' effect upon the family, children and mothers and all relationships is also explained. Fantastic book for the survivors of spousal abuse to educate and free them from the many lies and misconceptions that could possibly continue to bind her emotionally to the abusive partner.
