”I can’t live this way anymore."
“I’ve given up trying to change him."
“I can’t ever be good enough."
“He won’t listen to me anyway."
As a clinical psychologist, Dr. Ron Welch has heard many women in
controlling marriages pour out their hearts. They feel trapped,
helpless, stuck in a situation with no solution and no way
out.
In this candid book, Welch offers real hope. He shows women how
controlling husbands develop, why wives allow themselves to be
controlled, and strategies to help both husband and wife change.
Welch struggled as a controlling husband for years but found help
and healing in his relationship with his wife. He uses that
experience, as well as examples from the lives of the couples he’s
worked with, to show women that just because "he’s always been this
way” doesn’t mean their marriage must be that way forever. He
teaches women valuable practical skills for coping with the
challenges they face and transforming the power and control issues
in their marriages.
For wives of controlling husbands, along with the friends and
family members who love and are concerned about them, this is an
essential resource. Counselors will also find it helpful as they
work with hurting couples.
Real hope and real solutions for every woman.
