Vikki Stark

The Abandoned Wife's Guide to Recovery and Renewal, the new book by family therapist Vikki Stark, M.S.W. Based on The Sudden Wife Abandonment Project (S.W.A.P.), in which over 400 women contributed their stories and strategies, RUNAWAY HUSBANDS will help you not only understand what happened to you, but learn how to get your life back from wife abandonment. Vikki will help you understand Wife Abandonment Syndrome (W.A.S.) – a pattern of behavior that begins when a husband leaves his wife out-of-the-blue without ever having told her that he was unhappy. Based on premier research in the field, she will explain the deeper meaning that led to this crisis in your life. You'll hear the poignant and inspiring stories of S.W.A.P. participants and about Vikki's own journey of recovery from W.A.S. You'll learn what to do to help yourself when you're really struggling with obsessive thoughts, hurt and anger, and how to move on to the next stage in your life.
