o Did your parents tell you you were bad or worthless? o Did your parents use physical pain to discipline you? o Did you have to take care of your parents because of their problems? o Were you often frightened of your parents? o Did your parents do anything to you that had to be kept secret?
Now that you're an adult...
o Do your parents still treat you as if you were a child? o Do you have intense emotional or physical reactions after spending time with your parents? o Do your parents control you with threats or guilt? Do they manipulate you with money? o Do you feel that no matter what you do, it's never good enough for your parents?
In this remarkable self-help guide, Dr. Susan Forward draws on case histories and the real-life voices of adult children of toxic parents to help you free yourself from the frustrating patterns of your relationship with your parents - and discover a new world of self-confidence, inner strength, and emotional independence.
