Obsessive Love: When It Hurts Too Much to Let Go

Road to recovery at last.....

I usually try to read christian books about relationships and such and I was somewhat skeptical about reading a book by an author I hadn't heard of. Something drew me to this book and as I scanned through the pages in the store and saw myself, my story, I decided this book must be for me. I came home and could not put the book away because Dr. Forward uncovered so many of my behaviors and the reasons why I acted them out. I must say that Chapter 12 (your inner child) was a very tough one but it helped me see the reasons I am the way I am. I'm about to begin the road to recovery by using the guidelines set forth in this book but I have every confidence that what I've learned is exactly what I needed to get on with my life and stop obsessing over things I cannot change. I can't wait to regain my dignity and self worth and repair some of the holes that have been created in me my entire life. If you are hanging on to a relationship that screams it's over simply because you refuse to face reality, buy this book and take back your dignity and learn how to love effectively.

GET THIS BOOK, AND GET YOUR SELF TOGETHER

What a remarkable, and an intelligent book to read if you are suffering and trying to get over a person who has left you, and you have worked so hard to get them back, and worked so hard to make them happy and rebuild a relationship that no matter how hard you tried went nowhere. This book makes you take a look at your self and your behavior, and what you are doing wrong, and what you have done in the past that got you in this position in the first place vs what your lover is doing wrong. I defiantly recommend this book to you if you are in this position and are looking for a way to LET GO! At first I was intimidated by the title but once I picked up the book at the store and scanned through the pages the book hit a nerve, I grew eager to read more to find out how I may let go of my lover. I am only on page 79 and each time I read more I am stunned. It is me that I am reading about. Like, why I do the thing I do, why I think the way I think, why I try so hard to make that relationship work when it's not going nowhere, and why I was so convinced that I would make that relationship work time after time regardless of what it was doing to me mentally and physically, and socially. This book defiantly makes you understand your self more, as well as your current relationship and why it was so bad!!! Undoubtedly a positive outcome book. STOP STRESSING AND LET GO!

Never thought

I never thought that a single book could be such a great help. It really helped me to realize what was going on in my life and how to cope with it. A 'MUST READ BOOK'.

A must read for the rejected

I just happened across this book. God must have been guiding me. I too felt that so much that was written was a case study of me. Dr. Forward is so much on the money. She knows all that possesses and drives those who can't let go. This will be my bible as I work on recovery. It will allow me to move on with my life

Obsessed with reading this book

I picked this book up and couldn't put it down. I was reading about myself point by point. I'm not alone and it gave me the courage to LET GO. I finished this book just a little over a day after I started reading and the changes it made in the realizations of what I am and how I got to be there. But more importantly, how to fix it. I wanted to be fixed and needed to be fixed. This book may surprise you about how much of us live inside other people. READ IT if you've gone far enough to read the reviews - get the book!
