"I just finished reading, Destructive Relationships, and I can't believe how much it's opened my eyes to how I was conducting my life and all the unhealthy relationships I had!  I knew I was unhappy and couldn't figure out why my life and relationships weren't working. Now I understand completely. 

I feel so empowered now and confident about my future. I've already started making positive changes. I just don't know how to thank you enough!"

"Your book, But I Love Him" literally saved my daughter's life.  She was dating an abusive boy for nearly 2 years. He was very controlling and had recently introduced her to drugs and a depraved lifestyle. She ran away with him twice. We tried everything and didn't know how to get through to her.  We read your book and started talking to her differently and looking at our part in the relationship.  We started seeing small changes in the way she behaved toward us.  We finally gave her the book to read. She was initially resistent but then read it all in one night, highlighting it as she went.  She broke up with him less than 2 weeks later.  You and your book have been a miracle in our lives. We can't thank you enough for the work you do and for saving our daughter's life and our relationship with her."

Knowing How to Act

Even when the clues become impossible to ignore, a parent is hard-pressed to know how to act. The natural instinct to crack down and forbid the girl from seeing the boy may be counterproductive, warns psychologist Jill Murray, author of But I Love Him, a book about dating violence. "You can't control her out of the relationship," maintains Murray. "You can send her to boarding school, give him a one-way ticket to Siberia, but then you just become another controlling person in her life."
