Toxic Parents: Overcoming Their Hurtful Legacy and Reclaiming Your Life by Susan Forward
4.0
Some useful reading here.
As an adult child of a toxic-mother and passive enabling father, some of the scenarios here rang true with me.
I don't think the book itself is a one-stop shop to reclaiming your life, but I think it would be very helpful in tandem with counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy.
There are handy insights and a couple of exercises that are quite cathartic. - I enjoyed writing the "Fairytale" so much that I'm turning this into fully fledged tale about the recovery from a torrid childhood
Again - it won't give you all the answers in order to move on, but it will perhaps help you break the cycle.
