Women Who Love Too Much

What it is about

Robin Norwood describes relationships in which intensity, rescue, waiting, and suffering become confused with love. She connects repeated attraction to unavailable or troubled partners with early emotional deprivation, control, denial, and the fantasy that perfect care will finally repair an old wound. I keep it on this shelf because I want to treat love as a practice instead of a mood I hope will save me.
