I was drawn to the title which is why I wanted to read Escaping From The Victim or Volunteer Role in Your Relationship by Joanne Williams. While it is a compact book it is full of valuable information regarding how to find love, fulfillment and happiness. You are in control of your relationships, not the other way around, and once you know your worth, goals, needs and desires you can go forth in seeking what you want. This is a hands on look into several relationship types that we all can relate too, such as the “clingy, needy type”; this is the sister who knows this relationship is bad for you but does nothing to get out. She has lost herself in the man and he no longer finds her a challenge or exciting.
We meet the “Victim” and “Volunteer”, these are the women who do not realize they are being abused because it is not blatant; however, verbal is just as bad as physical. While this guide is under 100 pages it was well written, clear stories, and a must read for men as well as women. I recommend this book to our up-and-coming youth; these poor kids are misguided and are accepting anything they think is in the form of love. Whether they are witnessing this abusive treatment at home amongst their parents or within their inner circle.
No one should be a victim of circumstances, you should love yourself so much more that you are willing to sacrifice what you think is happiness for the joy you can bring to yourself. I recommended this book for anyone looking to improve their relationships.
