Leaving 101: How To Prepare To Leave Your Alcoholic Husband...Even If You're Not Ready To Leave Your Alcoholic Husband

Wren clearly lives the life of the alcoholic wife. This is the first book that really understood what that life is like. She hits the nail on the head. I wish I had read this book 20 years ago instead of wasting those years indecisively going back and forth. However..here I am. It's hard to make the decision to leave. I have made that decision 1000 times and then stayed anyway. It remains to be seen whether I will decide to leave now.

My first copy was a Kindle version. I tried ordering a hard copy and it never arrive. I received my refund but I really want the hard copy so I just placed another order. Cross my fingers.This book was really helpful in changing my thinking. The author talks in a way that makes sense. She makes a difficult situation into a positive plan of action. The point of her book is not necessarily leaving, but instead building a life of your own.

I loved the refreshing point of view in “The Alcoholic Husband Primer.” Purchased this book expecting it to have practical advice on getting your life and finances in order, so you can leave your partner. Instead, I got a sad book with more of the change your attitude to accept your life philosophy that was in the first book. One final, and I found it insulting, chapter was devoted to purchasing a little summer escape cabin where your husband may or may not go. Absolutely devoid of practical solutions or realistic dilemmas.

If I could give this book 10 stars I would. An easy read yet chock full of information and advice that is practical and easy to implement. Felt as though someone really understands how downtrodden you can become and the advice is a wonderful helping hand out of the mire.

I rated this book because I swear it was written about me in every way. The honest feelings explained in this book are true to life. My children don't understand why I've stayed. I purchased the book to give to my 3 children to read so maybe they can understand how and why I stayed for so long.

bought for a friend who has been struggling and she started reading it right away. Has show me several things that she relates to and has opened up a good discussion between us about her relationship

I really liked reading this book because it help me to put in words exactly what I was feeling but couldn't say! It gave me permission to grieve but to also show me the way to get out and be o.k. I wish the book was longer!

I needed to get unstuck from my life with an alcoholic husband, and this book dissolved the glue with eloquence and humor.
