Boundaries After a Pathological Relationship is a book whose author, Adelyn Birch, shows exceptional understanding of not only the severely narcissistic personality and their victim, most likely the borderline personality and/ or the uneducated empath; but also, indicates a thorough knowledge of the art of setting boundaries. Numerous examples of boundaries with possible pitfalls illustrate the vulnerability inherent in the ( victim) person mentally, physically, emotionally if undertaking the task of setting boundaries is not adequately followed. I love this book and the new tightening cohesiveness of the subject this Adelyn Birch brings to the table. “Pathological “ is such an perfect description of the total devastation and chaos perpetrated in the wake of a breakup of such a relationship and signals a long , arduous journey to reformulate a new foundation of mental health -this time with healthy boundaries.
