"I stayed in a hurtful relationship for too long because I didn’t think I deserved better. When I read How to Break Free from Toxic Relationships, I learned in Chapter 4 that my self-esteem mattered so much more than I realized. The examples helped me see that I was stronger than I thought. I was scared to set boundaries, but Chapter 5 showed me simple ways to say “no” without feeling bad. After I ended my toxic relationship, my friends and family said they had never seen me smile so much. My boss noticed that I was more confident at work and praised me for my better communication skills (thanks to Chapter 6!). Now, I feel happier and more at peace every single day."

"I always felt stuck in a bad relationship because I thought no one else would accept me. Then I discovered this book and realized in Chapter 1 that toxic relationships can happen to anyone. The stories made me feel less alone, and Chapter 2 helped me understand why I kept trying to fix a partner who didn’t want to change. After following the advice, I finally left that toxic situation. My co-workers at the office noticed I am calmer and more focused, and my friends said I seem like a new person. Even my family is amazed at how I stand up for myself now. I am so thankful I found this book because it taught me I deserved real love and respect."

"For years, I ignored the red flags in my unhealthy relationship. Chapter 3 of this book really opened my eyes to the warning signs I had been missing. I learned that my feelings mattered and that I had the power to change my situation. As I worked through the exercises, I felt my confidence grow every day. My boss noticed my new bravery at work and gave me more responsibilities. My friends said they could hear the happiness in my voice again. Now, I feel strong, excited about the future, and ready to only allow healthy people into my life."

"I felt trapped and confused in a toxic marriage, thinking I just had to accept the pain. But when I read Chapter 8 about understanding manipulative tactics, I realized how I was being controlled. The book showed me how to recognize gaslighting and stand up for myself. After practicing the tips from Chapter 9, I found the courage to rebuild my life from scratch. My coworkers noticed my improved mood and asked what changed in my life. My parents said they’re proud of how far I’ve come since leaving that toxic environment. I finally know I am worthy of kindness and love, and it feels amazing."

"I used to feel like I was the problem in my relationship, but this book helped me see I wasn’t. Chapter 2 on codependency explained why I always tried to please my partner, even when they were mean to me. It felt like the author was talking straight to my heart. After reading Chapter 7, I learned healthy ways to heal from all the emotional wounds. My friends noticed I seemed stronger and more cheerful, and I stopped worrying about what others thought of me. My manager at work said he saw me taking charge of my projects with new confidence. This book truly helped me say goodbye to the person I used to be and hello to the person I want to become."

"For a long time, I didn’t even realize my relationship was toxic until I read Chapter 1. I thought all couples argued like we did, but I was wrong. The book explained clearly what manipulation looks like, and I saw how my partner was breaking me down. As soon as I started setting boundaries (Chapter 5), I noticed I felt much better about myself. My brother told me he was proud of me for finally standing up for what I needed. My coworkers also said I seemed more positive and more outgoing. Now, I have hope that I can find real happiness, thanks to everything I learned in this book."

Jason P., Albany, New York

"My partner made me think I was crazy for feeling hurt, and I almost believed it. Reading Chapter 8 about manipulative tactics was like someone turning a light on in a dark room. I finally understood how I was being tricked into blaming myself. This new awareness gave me the strength to walk away. My best friend hugged me and said she’s never seen me look so free. My supervisor at work even commented on my upbeat attitude and asked me to lead a new project. Now, I feel brave and excited for the future, all thanks to the wisdom in this book."

Danielle H., Stratford, London

"I stayed in a toxic relationship for years because I was too afraid of change. Chapter 16 on overcoming fear encouraged me to take a big step toward freedom. Once I realized I had the power to rebuild my life, I stopped letting my partner’s bad behavior slide. After leaving, I found a support group through the resources mentioned in Chapter 10. My friends have said they love my newfound spark, and my family cheers me on every day. Even my boss remarked on how I’m more engaged and motivated at work. This book gave me the roadmap to a healthier, happier life."

"I was at my wit's end with my marriage, feeling like we were just going through the motions. Then, I found 'The Proven Path to a Thriving Marriage,' and it was a game-changer. The chapter on strengthening physical intimacy (Chapter 11) helped us reconnect in a way we hadn’t in years. Our relationship feels new and exciting again, and even my friends have noticed how much happier I am. This book brought the spark back into our marriage, and I couldn’t be more thankful."
