READER REVIEWS
The softest, gentlest, most realistic and direct approach to exploring and re-evaluating where, when and how a relationship should continue or end. I highly recommend reading this book for ANY closure with a friend, family member or loved one. Decisions will be more reasonable and with letting go of false feelings and false expectations, you won't have to untangle the pretzel later. This should be on the "Relationship Recommended Reading" list for us all. ~Jane Toombs
Audacious, a book with fresh rhetoric! At last, a quenching drink for those with thirst for original guidance on how to accept a relationship as it is or to change, and to do so with confidence and without regret. For me the scope of the principles were wide, and were useful in relationships with: self; spouses; friends; employees; and family. Helen's book sets forth a process filled with integrity to tastefully and honorably conduct yourself so that in the end, whatever the outcome, you can hold your head up as you have done the right thing. This is kindness. ~ Andrea Ayers Layman
Before You Leave was so beneficial to me in helping me decide whether to stay in my relationship or to end it. The information and excercises really helped me to get clear on what I needed to work on and how to ask for what I needed. It then allowed me to make the best decision for myself and handle the entire situation in the most loving way possible. We handled out divorce better than we ever handled our marriage! Our son was able to see his parents finally act like mature loving and respectful adults with each other and it made it so much easier on him. Divorce is never easy and this process made it as easy and as loving as it could possibly be. ~ Kate Stewart
