Why buy “When Hope is Not Enough”?
Why would you buy my book – over other more popular books like “Stop Walking on Eggshells” and Randi’s new book? The reason is that my book can have a bigger impact on your life than can the others. Why? Because my book focuses on a different aspect of BPD than does these other books.

If you want to get divorced, read all those others. Read “Stop Walking on Eggshells” or “Tears…

Is that you guy’s experience as well? No related posts.

I was struck by this quote: “Sam and Lindsay are speaking,” the source tells PEOPLE. “But Sam has begged Lindsay to get help.” “Lindsay, despite appearances, is insecure and has relied on Samantha and their relationship to build her up,” explains the pal. “Lindsay barely sleeps, which explains a lot of her behavior. She’s exhausted. She can’t even sit down for a minute without pacing around the room. It’s really sad.” Sam is begging…
