This book is dragging me to hell and back and helping me understand the incongruence between what I feel and what is actually happen between my parents and me.

This relatively short, super accessible book was a game changer for my relationship with my mom. It’s hard to let go of the belief that one day an immature parent(s) will radically change in the ways we wish they would (not impossible but well near it). This book provides guidance for setting realistic expectations and managing your relationship without having to throw it away entirely. Do not judge this book by its hideous cover — it’s so, so valuable.

if you’ve ever dealt with someone close to you that makes you paranoid, drained, exhausted, sad, etc. this may be a book for you. unfortunately narcissists are out there and they love to prey on innocent nice people. whether its a friend or family member, it’s incredibly difficult to sever the connections and cut ties with someone you care about even if the relationship is toxic. anyways i‘ve had some bad characters pop up in my life, and i was recently recommended this book by a therapist. honestly wish i had this book a decade ago, it’s extremely helpful in the healing process and it dumbs down how to move on, stop repeating patterns, and remove yourself from guilt or responsibility from people that aren’t good for you 🖤
