★☆☆☆☆
No contact must be acknowledged as a sane and necessary choice.
I was sent this book by a toxic family member who stalks me even after years of me maintaining a clear boundary of no contact. This boundary is for my self protection, and was established in anguish after decades of gaslighting and crazymaking and endless manipulation. If your book doesn’t begin with a clear acknowledgment that there are situations in which no-contact is a sane, reasonable, and necessary choice, then it has absolutely no place in my life. And it doesn’t deserve a place in the canon of literature about family estrangement. Stop encouraging narcissistic abusers to continue harassing their victims. EDIT: I’m curious how Amazon has put my review way down on the relevance list when many people have designated it as helpful. I’m not the only person who feels this way about the book (check out the comments section in the recent NYT article about it) and this perspective is important to include in any review section for this book.
