Kiss Mommy Goodbye (1982) - Plot & Excerpts

This was such a mess with you head kind of book! Donna has lived in an mentally abusive relationship for six years. It starts out all roses and ends up with her doubting every move she makes. She has brought two children into the world the first out of love; the second out of rape by her husband. When Donna asksVictor in the beginning of their relationship what would happen if they didn't work out. His answer, "I'd obliterate you." And that is exactly what he does. After the judge finds in favor of Donna in regards to custody of their two children, Victor kidnaps them. As the search for her children goes on, Donna continues to struggle with all the scars from being mentally abused. She falls into actually being the abuser in her new relationship.As a reader you can see what Victor is doing and it is frustrating!! I will say that it did seem to slow down a bit after the kidnapping of the children. It didn't bother me much because we see this part of an abusive victims life where they must deal with what has happened and what needs to be done to heal the wounds. Great writing and glad that I finally got to read this one.

Joy Fielding has done it again! Another amazing novel. It was a page-turner, an absolute roller-coaster ride. Up til 3 in the morning to finish this novel, it was worth it!!!Part 1- the past: made me remember that I recently went through a similar situation, but without the kids, and rape. It was an absolute nightmare and i'm trying trying to this day go get through it. As a result of that relationship i developed serious eczema, head to toe. As for the novel, Joy Fielding is an outstanding writ

What do You think about Kiss Mommy Goodbye (1982)?

die story an sich ist vielversprechend. frau heiratet netten,attraktiven und finanziell abgesicherten scheinbaren traumann, der sich im lauf der ehe zum kontrollsüchtigen tyrannen entwickelt, der er vorher schon war, nur das sie die zeichen nicht richtig deuten konnte. nach einer endlich erfolgten scheidung kidnappt er die kinder usw. usw. usw.ich hatte vorher schon einen roman von joy fielding gelesen, der mir gut gefallen hat, also dachte ich der ist diesmal auch in den stil, spannend und mitreissend geschrieben.nur leider gingen mit die dialoge der akteure gewaltig auf den keks und ich wurde selbst ganz nervös davon. ausserdem reagierten die chraraktere ganz merkwürdig,sodass ich die verhaltenmuster ebenfalls nicht nachvollziehen konnte. die letzten dreißig seiten wurde es noch etwas spannend,ansonsten war das lesen für mich eher folter als genuss, ich werde jetzt noch ganz nervös wenn ich daran denke...

O drama de Donna que pensava ter encontrado o homem perfeito e sua luta para recuperar os filhos que perdera numa batalha, onde o amor, ódio e vingança, alcançam seus extremos. Victor era o homem perfeito, bonito e rico e então Donna se colocou diretamente numa armadilha psicológica de um homem frio e cruel que anulou-a de uma forma que ela já não acreditava nem em si mesma.

Meh. Definitely not Fielding's best, but it was an early one (I didn't realize the publication date until most of the way through when they mentioned an Eric Estrada poster as a gift for a pre-teen! Fortunately, at least, parental kidnapping laws have come a long way since...), and she definitely as improved with age. Soooo much build up to the whole taking-the-kids thing, and while it was all well done, it felt like once we finally got to that point, the ending was too rushed and didn't have much emotional impact.
