2007-08-06 A very good book

I read this book and found it to be excellent.

As someone who has had the unfortunate experience of suffering through a BPD style abusive relationship, this book helped me to understand what I had been through, and to recover once it was over.

"Boomerang Love" was very helpful and by reading it I realized that my situation was far from unique. So many of the symptoms of an abusive relationship, as described by Lynn Melville in this book, pertained to my situation too.

This book would be a very good read for anyone who is confused about their own relationship, especially if your partner is playing the push/pull game, loving you to death, then hating you without reason, then all loving once again. It can help you recognize when things aren't healthy, and can help you decide if you should stay in the relationship or not. It can help clear up a lot of confusion about what is normal and what isn't normal, that you may be experiencing in your relationship. And it can help you realize that you have the power to improve your situation if you want to.

I felt much stronger as a result of reading this book. I realized that many of the problems I had experienced in my relationship were caused by things beyond my control. It helped me realize that I could not count on my partner to make me happy when she was so unhappy herself, and that she wouldn't be in a position to help me until she sought help herself first.

This book really cleared up a lot of confusion in my mind that had developed during the nearly three years that my relationship lasted. It helped me to see the light and to move forward with my life in a positive manner.

A must read for anyone in an abusive relationship with someone suffering with a Borderline Personality Disorder. It will help you in many ways, to understand what is going on while you're in the relationship, and to understand where you were and where you are going if you decide to get out. It is very informative and therapeutic. And easy to read!
