Rating: Summary: Awesome!! A MUST READ for people in abusive relationships!! Review: Why Does He Do That?: Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men by Lundy Bancroft was an amazing find for me. I had been looking for quite sometime for a book to help me through a very difficult long relationship which had ended due to mainly abuse. I found this book to be one of the BEST books I have ever read on the topic of understanding why men abuse women the way they do, what goes through their minds and I found myself checking off exactly what I had been through on each page. It was nice to hear there were more women out there who had been through similar situations or worse and I was not alone. I felt almost a relief upon reading this and the depression had slowly diminished. I highly recommend this book, and HAVE to other people and friends of mine who had gone through bad relationships... I am glad I bought this book! It helped me so much get through such a difficult time in my life!
Rating: Summary: Recommended at a Family Violence Seminar Review: Wow!!! This book had every example of behaviors exhibited by my mother's abusive husband! It was recommended to me at a Family Violence Seminar. It identifies abusive behaviors, why some women won't leave the abuser, what they can do if they are being abuse, how to get out of the abusive situation and what to do if you are a friend or family member of someone being abused. It won't solve your problems and it won't help you change the abusers behavior but it will educate you on what to look for and a little bit about what to do in this type of situation. Good luck to all of you who are needing this book right now.
