Summary: What did I do to deserve this?
Review: Dr. McNeill takes us on a step-by-step journey on how to survive an abusive relationship. Inspiring for anyone who would like to free themselves from any bad situation. The lessons on how to become aware of the dynamics of a "relationship" and the power of "like attracts like" and power of prayer, are lessons to last you a lifetime. Truly a powerful book and incredibly inspirational!! Loved it!

Summary: A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY
Review: I agree with the reader from Chula Vista - this book was a complete waste of my time and money - a real dissapointment. The author takes an overy simplistic approach to addressing relationship problems, instructing her readers to run from their relationship and to seek out god. It provides absolute no guidance in actually solving problems and moving the relationship forward in a health and productive fashion. The author motives are clear: she is more interested in proselytization then giving sound advise. My advise is to save your money and if you are going to run, run from this book.

Summary: This book will ensure the end of your marriage.
Review: I had high hopes for this book. It let me down immensely. This is simply a book designed toward one end. The end of any willingness to work on a marriage.The author's philosophy is that men are wrong, and that women must not accept any reponsibility for the difficulties in marriage. Once troubles begin, it is merely a matter of time to withdraw from a potentially loving relationship. Save yourself the money, and leave your husband...assuring yourself, right or wrong, that you did all you could do. Perhaps this author has never experienced love. I suspect so.

Summary: Great motivation to go forward in life
Review: I read both the "What Did I Do To Deserve This" book and workbook. They were great tools to help me leave a relationship with an alcoholic who was emotionally abusive. The book helped me to find a sense of self which I had lost during the course of my relationship. The book and workbook also helped me to get through the grief and pain. Leaving that relationship was one of the hardest, most painful experiences in my life. The books helped to comfort me and show me that staying in the realtionship was not serving me or my partner. The books definitely helped me to heal. It is sad how MANY women are in abusive relationships but are too embarrassed to talk about it or tell anyone (or even admit it to themselves). Dr. Joan McNeill knows about this from her firsthand experience and has reached out to others by sharing her story. I would definitely suggest this book to anyone who is TRULY READY TO MOVE FORWARD. I wish anyone who is in an abusive relationship the courage and strength to choose a different path.

Summary: Mumbo-Jumbo
Review: There are far more helpful books on the market. This book focused on prayer. And difficult-to-embrace notions of reverence (see "respect", but fancier) and "integrity." This book will not help your marriage. It will only help you run away, confident that running is the best choice.
