Product Description:
Is it impossible to let go — despite the pain?
• Do you yearn for someone who is not physically or emotionally available to you?
• Do you believe that if you love him enough he will have to love you?
• When you feel insecure, does it drive you only to want her more?
• Do you find yourself phoning repeatedly or waiting long hours for the phone to ring?
Do you wish someone would let go of you?
• Does an ex-lover or ex-spouse refuse to believe that it’s over?
• Do you receive unwanted phone calls, letters, presents, or visits?
• Is this pursuit of you creating so much anxiety that it affects your physical or emotional well-being?
In this invaluable self-help guide, Dr. Susan Forward presents vivid case histories as well as the real-life voices of men and women caught in the grip of obsessive passion.
Whether you’re an obsessive lover or the target of such an obsession, here is a proven, step-by-step program that shows you how to recognize the “connection compulsion,” what causes it, and how to break its hold on your life so that you can go on to build healthy, lasting, and pain-free relationships.
From the Trade Paperback edition.

Rating:  - A great book
Its a great book for those in a painful relationship. Its just worth reading.
Rating: - Superb!
There are a lot of people who think that divorce is wrong, or a full-blown sin. I believe all of those people, as well as others, should read this book. Dr. Forward points out that leaving a relationship is a right, not a privilege, and gives an insightful portrait into the motivations of people, married, divorced, or single, who just can't let go. PLEASE READ!
