These are some of the personal stories we have received from men and women who have read this book

 

 

 

 

Thanks

I just wanted to give a shout out about your book. Nice work! I wish I had read it before I got married. (I am now divorced, thank God.)

I was a victim of a great deal of emotional abuse and manipulation during my marriage by a woman who was a master at portraying herself as the victim and me as the perpetrator. This woman constantly hemmed and hawed about her troubles and how everything was everyone else's fault, including mine. Then, when the divorce got under way, she turned into the nastiest, most aggressive and selfish person I had ever seen. I'm a pretty tough guy, but I was floored by it. Thank God I had some good friends and I had picked up your book before the ordeal was finished. Needless to say, I was left broke because she took all my money. That, and she immediately violated nearly every term in our separation agreement - that a judge had just stamped. More must be done to uncover the ruthless ways of such women.

I think a big problem is that most men have a 'Do The Right Thing' mentality. What we don't realize is that a bitch has no version of the "Right Thing' other than getting what she wants. The result is that we unwittingly subject ourselves to round after round of emotional blackmail and abuse until we just can't take it anymore. We give in, give the bitch what she wants, and then she goes on to the next victim. You don't have to be physically abused to suffer.

More must be done to highlight the emotional abuse so many men withstand in relationships. I think it is an even bigger problem than physical abuse.

 

The evil that lurks in scorned women...

 

To whom it may concern,
 
I have been the  victim of not one, but two consecutive back to back evil and vindictive women ever to have walked the face of this earth.  My first was a woman I completely trusted with my life and all my money.  She was a real estate broker and she convinced me to give her my money to co-invest with her on several properties and when I did (blindly I should say) she ended up (when our personal relationship was over) lying about our agreement and keeping all the money and properties.  I was so stupid because I let her keep all the properties in her name...What a fool I was.  So I have a pending civil suit in court right now and we're to go to trial in February.  She filed a "restraining order" on me to boot because that was the only way she could get me out of one of our homes.  Nice girl..huh???  I'm so devastated over her betrayal and I'm still reeling over being penniless, jobless and now homeless.  
 
Fast forward several months after this 1st betrayal and now I meet this woman online.  She and I talk on the phone for over a month and she tells me if I don't come to see her then she has to come see me.  She tells me everything I want to hear and she plays with my already fragile and overly sensitive emotions.  We meet and the chemistry is electric.  I fall in love with this woman and she wants me to move in with her...fully knowing my bleak financial situation.  She turns out to be a multi millionaire and convinces me that she doesn't care about whether or not I have any money...she just wants "to be loved".  Well, she got all the love I had inside to give to her, but it never seemed to be enough.  I gave her my heart and my soul and she still never seemed to be happy.  Her own son said she thrives on drama and chaos which is partly why he has to go to therapy.  
 
It turned out that she, like my previous ex has a drug and alcohol problem (mixing ambien and wine) and it was causing me great pain and agony.  I never have even tried a drug in my life and i certainly don't like to drink, so this was a source of great discomfort to me.  She also tried to stab me several times with her (human growth hormone) needles and sick her guard dog on me for no reason.  You ask me why did I put up with it?  Well, I truly believed that God had put these women in my life as a test and that they needed me as much as I needed them and because this last relationship her son committed suicide in 2000, and I felt compelled to help her "heal" from the pain she was going through...just like i thought she was put in my life to help me "heal" from the betrayal of my last relationship. 
 
I thought we were both on the right tract with moving forward towards a healthy and happy life together.  Until, she needed to stir things up again.  She wasn't happy being complacent with me and being in a "normal" relationship.  She then started getting verbally abusive towards me and ended up throwing me out with nowhere to go and with no money to move with.  I was again completely shocked and stunned at this betrayal when all I ever wanted from both of these women was to be loved for who I am.  They both knew I've been depressed over the loss of my Mother and my career as an actor was slowly slipping away and they both supported me in my struggle to find my place in this world. They both had gotten me so emotionally and financially dependant upon them that it seemed when I truly needed them the most, is when they decided it was time to cut me loose.  
 
I'm so devastated by it all that I've contemplated suicide and I wish God would just take me in my sleep so I won't have to suffer anymore.  I am barely able to breathe and stay afloat and if a miracle doesn't happen to me soon, I will be living on the streets because I have nobody left who truly cares about me. 
 
God?  Mom???  Please send me an Angel quick before I die from this loneliness and despair....PLEEEEZZEEEEEE???????????
 

The Vulture

 

As a "Soft Touch" sprightly sixty two year old it was a dream come true for me to receive the sizzling flashing eye contact of a dark eyed sensuous forty eight year old on a dance floor.
 
I stuttered to ask her out....but she quickly helped me!
 
Her eyes lit up when she learnt that I ran my own business and did charity work and loved to give.
 
Spending a year doting on her, I let her right into my heart.
 
I spent thousands of pounds in household goods and time setting up home with her.....with some faint assurances about a future together.
 
We spent the most fabulous holiday abroad together, of course at my entire expense. During that holiday I introduced her confidently and trustingly to my God Son aged thirty seven. God did the vulture make a bee - line for his tanned torso! Yes, you guessed it, I trustingly gave her my God Sons mobile phone number so that she could text him with a shopping list for his mum and , my friends of fifty years.  
 
On returning home, The Vulture ended our relationship without explanation, and booked a another holiday with .....yes you guessed it my God Son. After a few weeks The Vulture swooped on him, promising that they would be living together....yes you guessed it...in the house we had prepared "For Each Other"....and yes you guessed it....at my expense.
 
Did I believe this was possible? Not for any decent human being no....so I did not. The disbelief wore off when reality visited....and my own God Son stuttered the words "They are together"...after they had known each other a few weeks and had acted without scruples.
 
The Vulture had struck again....nothing convincing her victim that he was being consumed too.
 
THE END
