Toxic Parents: Overcoming Their Hurtful Legacy and Reclaiming Your Life by Susan Forward
5.0
I am not alone
over the years, I struggled with my relationship with my parents. I always thought they did the best for me and i was just a bad daughter who was constantly ruining their life. Well, this book opened my eyes. Don't think it's one of those "everything bad in your life is your parents' fault" mumbo-jumbo. The author specifically warns against that. You have to take responsibility for your own life. But if yoy were raised by people incapable of providing you with love and support you needed as a child, it's time to grow up and redefine your relationship. Frequently you will not be able to change your parents, but you can change yourself, your perception and your relationship with them using the techniques in this book.
