I just received this copy of a dishy new unauthorized #biography. We can all agree on the title’s accuracy, but other portions of the book might benefit from a more rigorous fact-check

Of all the 1-star Amazon reviews for my book, #thepowerofparting (there are two), this is my favorite. Never mind that it’s not true; I take it as a compliment. Thanks, Daynie!

Yesterday, for the first time in 15 years, I visited the house where my siblings & I were abused for decades. I doubt that placing a copy of #thepowerofparting there will exorcise any demons that linger there. But doing so felt like proof that I’ve exorcised some demons that had long haunted me

If you were wondering why this week feels … different from all other weeks, maybe it’s because @theweekmag has just named me #authoroftheweek. Or maybe that’s not the reason at all. In any case, I’m quite happy about it!

From #thepowerofparting, why #abuse #survivors should consider taking #mothersday off. Or quitting this awful job altogether

I love that you and your therapist are reading TPOP together. And I love the graphic you used to illustrate your gracious post. #separationisnatural indeed! 🙏📘🙏

It’s an honor to have one of my sentences earn the rank of #sundaysentence! 🙏📘🙏

Christian Bauman @christianbauman.bsky.social · May 4

My #sundaysentence this week is @eamondolan.bsky.social’s powerful book about a journey I’ve been on for 15 years: “People who abuse us often believe they love us, but they’re merely connecting with us for their own self-serving needs.” To them, he adds, we are just extensions, not real people.

I fervently hope you’ll read every sentence in #thepowerofparting (& thanks so much to those who have!), but I feel obliged to highlight what I consider its most important sentence

Here I am after my event at @greenlightbklyn with the man who gave me my favorite line in #thepowerofparting: the final sentence of chapter 11. Thanks so much to @shaman_amon for that line & for being the best son

Honored to see my take on #estrangement in the @nytimes

www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/o...

Opinion | What I Learned From Going No Contact (Gift Article)

Estrangement is often the most moral option. What’s immoral is encouraging people to remain in relationships that hurt them.

Thanks for your kind words, and sorry you had to endure what you did. I hope you’re finding peace, freedom, and all the other good things that estrangement (and abusers’ demise) can bring

My dear friend @dawnladavis seems to be quite intrigued by #thepowerofparting. Her dear friend Kiki seems to be … less so. You can see for yourself who’s right when #tpop drops one month from today

I rocked the mic yesterday to correct some errors I made the last time I rocked the mic. I’m sure the #audiobook of #thepowerofparting is totally perfect now..🤞👂🤞

You can hear the total perfection for yourself when the audio drops on 4/1/25

We New Yorkers haven’t been through anything like what our LA friends are enduring now. But we have had just enough contact with wildfires to feel deep sympathy & concern for all Angelenos. Sending them 💪 & ❤️
