This book gives insight into the behaviours and thinking of angry, controlling and abusive men. Namely that they have a sense of entitlement and disrespect for their partner and children, and that domestic abuse is not about losing control, or a consequence of mental health issues, substance abuse or trauma. It provides guidance for victims of domestic abuse in understanding their partner, keeping themselves and their children safe, leaving their partner if they want to, and noticing true signs of change. I highly recommend it to anybody to help them become better at understanding abuse, supporting victims and survivors, and working towards a society that does not codify abuse.

This book details domestic abuse, including emotional and physical violence. There are certain sections that discuss child abuse, substance abuse. The author occasionally uses ableist language (e.g. calling abusers' behaviour crazy or insane, despite asserting that abuse is not a mental health problem)random19379's review against another edition

Though it's aimed at people in potentially abusive romantic relationships, this book is relevant to anyone who interacts with any other humans. I cannot stress enough how important this book is, how helpful it is, and how much it will improve any and all of your relationships. Even if you don't feel that you're being abused - even if you're not in a romantic relationship at all - reading this book will at the very least show you how to care about the people around you, and how to care about yourself.
