"You've changed my life!"

I really appreciate that you put all of this together. Since I read your book and all the accompaniments, I feel SO well-equipped to deal with these "issues" that I thought were all about me. I have issues, of course, but now I am in a much better understanding. And your words and findings have helped me cope in a way I can't express. Thank you, again, a million times. You have changed my outlook and essentially my life. Thank you!!!

"Revealing And Understanding"

Of all the books I have read on the subject, I find yours the
most revealing and understanding.

Rhonda, Denver CO

"I already feel so much better."

"I would like to say a big thank you on on writing your book. Reading it has validated what I knew all along but never had the courage to say or do anything, so I just suffered instead. I have 4 brothers who never believed me and made me feel small.

Every line in your book jumped out and slapped me in the face and has given me the courage to write her a letter and go NC. I already feel so much better.

I have recommended the book to a dear friend who is in the same boat

Thanks again-Life Saver!!!"

"Changed My Life"

I got it as soon as it came out. Changed my life Danu - thank you so much for sharing your life with us, in your book. I'm going to give it another read, since I've come a lot further since reading it in August. I'm sure I'll notice even more; it happens when you learn, live and than reread something.

"Better than therapy"

By the time I finished chapter 3, I was stunned by the feelings that were changing in me, already! I was in therapy for years and nothing helped, until I read this book!

"Post-its on nearly every page"

Danu, I have read your book, I have post-its and comments marked on nearly every page! The thing I like most about the way you write is the way that when I am reading your book it feels like you are having a conversation with me.

I'll give you an example. I got to a point when reading your book that I started to panic and question myself, 'AM I NARCISSISTIC?!!! I turned the page (page 116) and it was like you were reading my mind. You wrote.. 'You probably won't be long on this journey before the horrific thought hits you - what if you are narcissistic?' Thank You for that!

"Your Book Is Godsent"

I'm reading your book and just can't believe how someone I've never met can know absolutely everything about my life. Your book, your words are Godsent. Thank you times a million for sharing your story. It is proving to be very helpful for me. Thank you thank you!

AJ (again)

"I Can't Believe How Accurate It Is"

I'm only to page 30, but I can't believe how accurate it is. I found myself getting dizzy reading it. It's almost like you've met my mom.

I really appreciate you for writing this book. I've realized a lot of things and I'm only a few chapters in. I'm seeing destructive things didn't even know she was doing. I feel like I've been trapped in a cult all of my life. I know this will probably dredge up more painful memories, but I'm looking forward to learning how to heal.

Thank you. Kayla

"[This book] Has Changed My Whole Outlook"

I sat down to read it and it was so powerful reading MY experiences and for the first time in 38 years realising there was a name for what my mother was , there was a reason i was the way i was and there more importantly was a way to heal!

I have read thousands of self help book over the years and although many were life changing, i had never read about the main problem NM s.

I read and reread your book and it sits now in my dressing table drawer and serves me well , when i get the jitters or have a bad day i reread the truth and for me it has changed my whole outlook, yes i was abused appallingly in every way and yes Mothers do do this to their daughters and it wasn't me being difficult after all! .

Thankyou for taking the time and the love to write this book which i feel will help many millions of women and men ( my brother read it also ) come to terms with what has and is happening to them directly as a result of being a child of a NM.

"[The] book was thorough, deeply relatable and to the point."

" I found your bookt truly liberating and validating. I literally read it in 2 days and would hold it in the air, shaking the book making weird, somehow validating noises (true story).
I love how your book was thorough, deeply relatable and to the point. Many of the other books I've read are written by psychologists and took a tremendous amount of time to process and digest while getting re-triggered by reading them. I was never able to identify certain aspects the way you did and it gave me power back to help heal such a deeply painful experience. "

Charisse, San Francisco, USA

"[this] book is the missing piece that completes the puzzle"
