I have not finished it yet. But so far this is one of the best books I have read. Especially any one who has been in a relationship that at times does not seen healthy or right in ways.
This book was TRULY life-changing for me and I highly recommend it to anyone who is in an abusive or controlling relationship OR for anyone who is unhappy and doesn't realize that abusive and controlling patterns may be going on in their relationship. I dated my husband since we were 16 and in high school. 35 years later, I had to come to terms with how miserable I was. I stumbled upon this book and the entire reality of my life was shaken to the core. There were several chapters that brought me to tears. I felt as if I was in an earthquake and the ground was falling out from under me. But once the dust settled, I could not ignore the reality that was staring me in the face. By the time I got through the book I realized a few things: he controlled everything about my life, had substance/alcohol abuse issues, and was verbally abusive and physically threatening. Despite all of that, I had never defined him as abusive. His control issues began in high school and I interpreted his controlling behavior as "wow, he really loves me." In our 20's, he began using drugs and I gave him a pass on his behavior, blaming the drugs instead of him. Once he stopped drugging, alcohol abuse started and continued until I walked away from the marriage at 50. I told myself time and time again "boys will be boys," "he doesn't really mean the stuff he is saying, "he's just an ugly drunk." In short, I wasted 35 years of my life with this man, who distorted reality and everything I knew to be true and tried his best to make me feel small and unworthy.With the help of this book, I found the courage to tell him that I would no longer "work on things" (because he never really worked on anything, anyway). He moved out of the house last week (I bought him out) and I have to say ... it is sad, but I've never felt more at peace with the decision and I am ALREADY much, much happier. I come home now and I don't have to worry about what mood he's in or if he's going to get mad if I log in and work. NO ONE should have to live with someone who treats you like a child, or curses you out "just because that's the way he's feeling," or will not respect you or your career, or refuses to stop drinking or drugging, or who physically harms or threatens you. ALL of these actions are WRONG and if you are experiencing any of them, PLEASE READ THIS BOOK.
I went with my abusive husband to three different therapists and all of whom worked on active listening and communication exercises. None of them understood what I was really going through after we walked out their door, until I gave the last one a copy of this book which I bought on amazon for him. If you are a marriage counselor or therapist, or a spouse made to feel like you are crazy, PLEASE read this book!!! I wish it could be required curriculum for all therapist certification programs. All of the communication skill training in the world is useless if you don't understand the inner workings of what you are dealing with. If you only buy one book, let it be this one.
This is a book about abusive relationships. You will notice that `abuse' is nowhere in the title. I suspect this is because everyone has their own definition of what constitutes abuse, and it almost never covers what they themselves are doing - or being subjected to - are seeing and are concerned about. So, with a title like "angry and controlling men," they are more likely to pick up the book, thinking, "Hey, this might apply to the confusing situation I am facing."Can a man abuse a woman without physically harming her? Yes. He can scream at her. He can throw things around the house. He can vandalize her property. He can routinely blame her for everything that goes wrong in his life, or he can constantly critique her and tear her down, or he can call her names that when I tried to put them in this review, got it banned from Amazon.This does not mean that just any unpleasant behavior earns the title abuse. Bancroft uses the word "abuse," but he does not use it irresponsibly. For example, he says that if someone is angry all the time, "I would not like it," but it is not necessarily abuse.Abuse is not a binary kind of behavior that is only invoked when the fists fly, but a deeply ingrained, unrepentant attitude of ownership, entitlement, contempt and resentment that a man displays, not toward most people in his life, but toward "his" woman (including past women). Does it always escalate into physical abuse? Not always. It can still be extremely destructive, even if it never does.Does this sound hard to read? It is. Despite being written in a very readable style, this book is in some ways torture to read. The only thing worse would be to live it. I recommend that everyone who can stand to, should read this book, because it clears up so much of the confusion that prevails in abusive situations ... confusion in the mind of the victims, the observers, and even (especially?) the professionals.Even if you only read the first three or four chapters, you will be far ahead. The very first chapter, titled "The Mystery," begins with the confusion felt by victims (who might not see themselves as victims) and their friends, as they try to understand the situation and the abuser. "He says I'm too sensitive. Maybe I am." "Have I changed or has he changed?" "Why does he DO that?"This confusion is created by the abuser himself, in his highly successful attempts to justify himself to himself, to his victim, and to the people around him. Bancroft did not did start out with this assumption, by the way, but came to it after years of working with abusers in mandatory counseling groups. When he started out, he believed what the abusers told him about how their behavior was caused by their wives' failings, their traumatic childhoods, their unemployment, or the hurts done them by past girlfriends; that they didn't know what they were doing; that they "lost control." Only after several years did the author start to cotton on to the lies.Also confusing is the fact that many abusers can actually be kind (yes, kind) in between abusive incidents.Add to this the fact that the victim may indeed have some mental problems of her own (alcoholism, depression, etc.), either predating the abuse or brought on by it. If she has lived with abuse long enough, she may be barely functional. The abuser, meanwhile, is functional in his life at large (except when it comes to treating his wife well), and appears to be a sane, trustworthy person. To top it all off, he has told her many times that his behavior is her fault. (In fact, he may accuse her of abusing him ... referring to her attempts to defend herself.)Small wonder, then, that the abused woman, her friends, and society at large cannot figure out what her problem is. If they start from the assumption that the abuser is a decent guy who means well, they will never figure out the situation. There are decent guys who mean well. This book is not about them.This book is admirably free of psychobabble. For example, in one chapter Bancroft examines in some detail a frustrating conversation between a whiny, controlling man and his wife, which ends with him insisting on walking home in the cold, even though she would be willing to drive him. The author then analyzes why the man chose to walk home and resent it. Of course, his main motive is to maintain the role of victim, to keep himself in the right and his wife in the wrong, so that he can tell himself (and tell everyone else later) how she "left him" to walk home in the cold. Bancroft then adds, "Also, deep down inside [the man] there is a human being who knows that what he is doing is wrong."In another place, he says, "Most people, when you confront them about something they are doing wrong, get defensive and deny it at first. But later, when they have had some time to cool down, they will come back and admit you were right. Abusers do not do this. They use the passage of time to find additional arguments about why they are right."One last note. There is a fascinating, counterintuitive warning (late in the book), that women in abusive situations should not seek couples' counseling. "Couples' counseling is designed for problems that are mutual." Abuse is not mutual. It is unilateral. It is not the result of a communication problem. Furthermore, couples' counseling can be dangerous (!) for the wife. The reassuring presence of the counselor might get the wife to open up and say things to, or about, her husband that she would never otherwise dream of uttering. Then, when they get home (or even, in one chilling case, in the car on the way home), she can face violent retaliation.This book will haunt you, but definitely read it. It might help you someday to help someone else, even if it is only by being the only person who believes her.
