Toxic Parents: Overcoming Their Hurtful Legacy and Reclaiming Your Life by Susan Forward
5.0
Excellent. This book was of a great help to me, even though I'm already past most of the things described. I would advise it to anyone with toxic parents, definitely.
The first part helps you identify the problem if you aren't quite sure that there is one by showing you various types of abusive parents (although they can fall in several categories or be a combination of them). The second part gives you really simple and yet effective advice in dealing with your relationship with them.
What I found great was that it also helped me with other "figures of authority", not only parents ! I had grown so fearful and traumatised by stuff that happened that handling conflict (or even letting it happen) in my place of work was hard, as it always brought me back to my childhood, but this really helped on getting past that.
Once again, I recommend it wholeheartedly !
