Customer Reviews

Liberate yourself....

This book will liberate you from the thinking that makes you believe you have to keep after the messie person in your life and that it is somehow all your responsibility. It isn't. It's theirs! This book gives you straight talk about what you should tolerate, and what you shouldn't, and points out that many of us with messie spouses have a great deal of difficulty setting personal boundaries. The author ties a messie house and messie spouse into our own low self-concept. Once you realize that all of it is related, you will be able to decide which boundaries are appropriate, what you CAN live with, and what you SHOULDN"T live with. This book changed my life. I think it will change yours too.

Really helpful, as her books tend to be.

Felton helps you understand yourself and the people you live with. There are a hundred books of how-tos and helpful hints; hers are about making yourself actually -do- something! This one is both helpful and supportive, for a person (whether messy or not) who lives with a Messie.
