Mary Jo Buttafuoco Talks About New Book 'Getting It Through My Thick Skull'

Mary Jo Buttafuoco stopped by to talk about her new book Getting It Through My Thick Skull and spoke about her new life, what she learned and why she stayed with cheating ex-husband Joey Buttafuoco for so long.

For more than 17 years, she had an anonymous life as a suburban wife and mother in Massapequa, Long Island. But in May 1992, she answered her front door and was confronted by a young woman who shot her in the head. That young woman was Amy Fisher who became known as the Long Island Lolita and the story sparked a media frenzy.

Getting It Through My Thick Skull is more than a book about Buttafuoco's long, tumultuous marriage to Joey and her realization that she was married to a sociopath. The book 'illuminates the reasons women stay in such relationships; explains why the spell of a sociopath is so hard to break, and points out the many warning signs along the way for those who feel trapped in a relationship they can’t fix no matter how hard they try," according to the book's offical site.

Buttafuoco's book Getting It Through My Thick Skull: Why I Stayed, What I Learned And
What Millions Of People Involved With Sociopaths Need To Know is available in book stores now. For information, visit www.maryjobuttafuoco.com.
