A guide to the tools needed to leave painful, destructive relationships behind, both at home and at work, with dozens…
of helpful case histories Starting with details of how to recognize the manipulative or sweetly corrosive partner, the family dynamics that make Christmas and other get-togethers hell, and the nightmare boss, this book teaches readers what they can do to leave painful, destructive relationship patterns behind. Toxic relationships come in many guises, which can make them hard to identify. This guide explains that often they don't entail physical violence so much as a slow erosion of self esteem, a loss of personal identity, or a growing desire to please friends, partners, family members, and others who are impossible to please. Many toxic relationships begin early in childhood, or as people start to form their own personal relationships, and even when they find the courage to move on, if the fallout from these relationships is not dealt with, they may end up attracting more of the same. This book teaches how to observe these patterns in relationships, making it possible to truly move on.By Bonnie Stone. 2011

spouse needs to know and how to get it in the vast superstructure of the American military. Seemingly impersonal, but on the personal level not always so, the military, a subset of the Federal Government, is a myriad of departments and personnel with designations and descriptions not always evident to the spouse coping with a host of sudden concerns. Step by step the basics of government moves, housing, legal matters, managing money, military medicine, child care, discounted travel, employment, manners, abusive behavior, retirement and surviving death on active duty are basics covered. Everything needed to make life better, in these difficult times, is available through Uncle Sam and the author shows how and, through her twenty years of experience, shows how to survive financially and even find some prosperity.By Robin Norwood. 1985

Why it really does take two to tango . . . At forty-five, Jamie Rose was an independent, take-charge woman…
whose career as an actress was going nicely, with frequent roles on hit television shows and in films. Yet there was one area of her life that wasn't working: her love life. She'd been living with her boyfriend for five years, and although she was ready to get married, he wasn't. His reason? They fought too much-and unfortunately, he was right. But something magical happened when she signed up for tango lessons: She began to appreciate the power of being a partner in a dance for two-and that letting someone else take the lead from time to time wasn't giving up, but rather, letting go. In this funny and wise book, Rose shares with readers the life lessons she's learned from tango and the other great partner dance traditions. Dance changed Rose's life, and she discovered that she wasn't the only one. Over and over, the women she encountered at dance halls-women from age twenty to ninety-three-told her how falling in love with dance helped them fall in love with life again. The secret? Whereas before they may have worried that if they let go of their grip on things for a moment, everything would fall apart, now they knew that sometimes letting go of the lead was the best way to keep things together-especially in a relationship. For anyone who has ever marveled at Fred and Ginger up on the silver screen (how could they be so in sync?), Shut Up & Dance shows readers how to dance their way into a happier, sexier life-even if they never step onto a dance floor. .By Sylvia Hendriks, Dan Alatorre. 2015

He then guides you into creating deep and lasting change. If you're ready for a radically different experience, and a whole new relationship future, this book is for you.By Neal Pollack, Michael Taeckens. 2009
