In this supportive and straightforward guide, Lundy Bancroft, the author of Why Does He Do That?, and communication specialist JAC Patrissi offer a way for women to practically take stock of their relationships and move forward-with or without their partners.

Women involved in chronically frustrating or unfulfilling relationships will learn to:
* Tell the difference between a healthy-yet-difficult relationship and one that is really not working
* Recognize the signs that their partner has a serious problem
* Stop waiting to see what happens-and make their own growth the top priority
* Prepare for life without their partner-even as they keep trying to make the relationship work
