How to Deal with a Controlling Person

Getting out of an Abusive Relationship

By: Terence Williams

Narrated by: Stephanie King

Dictators aren't just for countries. You can find them in relationships as well. A dictator is someone who decides how everything will be done and fully expects others in his world to abide by his laws. This article outlines three signs that you are probably in a dictatorial relationship. This is the most obvious sign, but a dictator makes the rules. No one else is allowed to contribute to the rule-making. If your boyfriend decides all of the rules and expects you to live by them, you are probably dating a dictator.

One person in a relationship cannot make all of the rules. That is not the way that a healthy relationship functions. When one person makes all of the rules that the other must live by, that is controlling. If you don't do what your boyfriend tells to you may feel punished. He might ignore you or leave the house altogether and do something enjoyable without you. That is a form of punishing you. He will make sure that you realize you've done something wrong. When someone is as passionate about his rules as he is, you will begin to believe that he's right.

It's important that you don't slip into his way of thinking. If he wants to pout and ignore you when you don't do what he wants, let him. Do not let him punish you. Just go about your day as if he's not upset. Another adult who makes you feel bad and tries to punish you in some way is manipulating you. These are all signs of what a woman who has gone through, but there is an answer and that's in How to Deal with a Controlling Person, by Terence A. Williams. Grab your copy today.

thank you

I needed this. Emotional abuse is hard ,its good to know i am not crazy.

Subject is a must read for new relationships

Good information and advice, but watch out for some over generalizations about the abuser and actions to take

Very insightful

A friend recommended this book to me after hearing about my issues within my relationship. It was very insightful. Things that I did not know or how to recognize became very clear after listening to the audiobook. I think it's a book that every person should read in a relationship regardless if they are abusive or not.

it's in the title

I can almost assure you that we knew these answer's before we heard this book. but this book adds a sense of realness to it all, we feel and see it clearly now. and we know what we need to do.

loved it

nice smooth listen will read it again will recommend it for other a people just enjoyed it I learned a lot from it I loved it

wasn't helpful

I wanted to know how to deal with him not how to find out what a controlling person is.

Short for a reason

Informative, but not too in-depth. I guess I was expecting more. But it is pretty short to be able to delve deep
