Hard, practical advice
I was dumped a year ago. In addition to the confusion of betrayal in a 27-year relationship, I was confused by the conflicting advice of the many self-help books on divorce. I did not see my situation as an opportunity for growth. I did not care that half of all US marriages end in divorce. I wasn't interested in the differences between people from "Mars and Venus." I wanted to die. Warren's book was a rock of practicality in the turbulent waters. Now, even a year later, I read passages late at night, like the Bible, to keep me on track. Women will especially like her chapters detailing the signs of an imminent "dumping." Despite my despair at the time, I couldn't help but laugh at how predictable, like a testosterone-written script, my husband's behavior was. Also, ladies, you will LOVE the chapter on how she turns those self-blamings of "If only I had..." into "if only HE had..." I'm not through the tunnel yet, but Sally Warren's book gives me hope.

A must. Family law attorneys should give copies to clients!
This book is a great read, and can play an important role as a catalyst in helping "dumped" women to heal. Having practiced family law for twenty years, I often find that it is not just the financial wounds but also the emotional wounds that leave women dependent upon the men who left them. The timing will always be right to read this book: read it just after you've been dumped, years after, or - God forbid, before! - and you will look into the lives of the brave "dumpees" who shared their stories, and find lots that you can identify with. Sometimes humourous, sometimes sad, yet always helpful, this book will help women to help themselves.

Uncanny!
For the first time in my life, I found myself being the "Dumpee". Somehow, in the fog of hurt I found the book Dumped! I began reading the preface and immediately found three things that had happened to me that are "classic" in being dumped. I was hooked and rapidly read this wonderful book. It was of great help in my realizing what had happened, what I could do to pull myself out of the slump I was in, and to realize that I am still a likeable person. I have since passed Dumped! on to friends who have been dumped...seems to be an epidemic lately. Buy it...you'll like it! Similar Products
