I recommend a lot of books and I must say that this has become one of the most highly recommended for the women that contact me. I love the title,“No Contact” ending a destructive relationship as I believe this to be one of the most important things a woman or man can do after getting away from abuse of any kind. I was honored to read Penny’s Book, “No Contact,” ending a destructive relationship,” to review for my readers. We all have a story deep within us that will benefit others and Penny is no different. You can read the first chapter of her book by visiting the author’s website at http://endingdestructiverelationships.com/ and/or purchase the book by clicking on the following link:“No Contact” ending a destructive relationship

What I found inspiring about this book was how it focused on one very important aspect that many overlook, not having contact with your abuser once you finally get free. This is so very important, for if you don’t, your life will stay in a perpetual cycle of violence, leaving you wondering, why can’t I seem to move on? When you see your abuser on a regular basis makes it easy for you to remember the good times and in a moment of weakness, return, which if you have done this, you know with certainty, the abuse to become worse as he will now insist, you couldn’t live without him. This also enables the abuser to keep you under their thumb and under their spell. I understand that if you have children together this is easier said than done so do the best that you can. The book addresses how to keep your distance when you must have contact because for court dates, selling a home and parenting children together.“No Contact” ending a destructive relationship takes you through the initial emptiness, and how this one woman filled her time which allowed her to have a more fulfilling life; while making sure she never allowed herself to be vulnerable to abuse again. Penny is very honest and shares so much of her in her writing, which for me is what always helps a woman that has been abused, to read another woman’s story. One of the best parts for me was when she writes learn to love you first, and when it is time for love again, that there be no tolerance for abuse.

The book brings up a important issue of how many women return to and attract the same type of men, continuing the cycle of abuse for them and their children. This book helps point out potential signs of abuse that we know we have all ignored.
