Synopsis

Author Lynn Melville believes that people caught in abusive relationships -- whether Borderline or not -- are stuck in the middle of the Grief Cycle. They are unable to move forward to acceptance of the reality of the abuse they're receiving, because their abuser continues to change, back and forth from the person who acts like they love them -- to the person who hurts them.

Melville began writing Breaking Free from Boomerang Love for herself, words to help her stay focused on reality. Over time, her writing began to change into letters to others who were still stuck in abuse.

Written in a daily affirmation style, readers will re-feel and finish the grieving of their pain, laugh and then watch their denial disappear, achieve a new strength to stand up for themselves, and re-connect and reach for guidance from the God of their understanding.

About this title

From the Author

In writing 'Breaking Free from Boomerang Love', my personal mission is to raise awareness of 'boomerang love behavior' so that it becomes a household phrase, the meaning of which is clear to everyone.

I believe that repeatedly leaving and then returning to a painful relationship with another person is a sign that something is seriously wrong -- we just don't know what that something is.

Our culture is essentially color blind to the behavior of narcissistic Borderline Personality Disordered people. Few know that there is an actual name and mental health diagnosis for the hurtful behavior that Borderlines inflict on their partners in relationships -- or in business or families.

I now offer telephone coaching services to partners in abusive relationships. With a step-by-step method to lead people out of boomerang love stuckness, and the help of my book, people all around the United States are successfully freeing themselves of the pain of their Borderline relationships.

From the Inside Flap

BOOMERANG LOVE??   WHAT'S  THAT ??

'Boomrang love' is that on-again, off-again behavior some of us have engaged in with our love relationships.  We leave the painful relationship . . . then go back . . . then leave again . . . over and over.

Our partner says, "I'm sorry for my behavior."  We're showered with flowers and attention and they promise it will never happen again.  Or they blame us, or act as if nothing happened.  Or worse, we convince ourselves that it won't happen again.  So we pick up the shattered pieces of our lives and try again.

Sometimes we make it out one last time.  Or we remain stuck for life, while friends and family watch helplessly as our mental, physical and emotional health spiral downward.

'Breaking Free from Boomerang Love' is a lifeline for someone stuck in 'boomrang love'.
