Search - Toxic Parents : Overcoming Their Hurtful Legacy and Reclaiming Your Life

Excellent advice for abuse victims.This wonderful book validates the very real abuse scars left on abuse victims without laying the additional burden of "you HAVE to forgive" or "Just get over it" or "simply stop being a victim/feeling sorry for yourself" or even worse, "why dwell on it? That was years ago" that so many abuse victims get from well-meaning friends and relatives. Also exposes the many too-simplistic forms of "therapy" that survivors are often confronted with: religion as a cure-all, forgiveness.... Her advice for true healing is practical and a welcome effort to those so scarred by their childhoods.

NOT "anti-parent," as the title might have you think. This is a generally positive book about recovery.

Very insightful. I would recommend reading this book.

I thought that this book gave some really helpful insights as well as tips on how to deal with toxic parents. It was not a book about blame but really a book about recovery and provides realistic steps on how to move forward in your relationship with your toxic parent.

Very Interesting read
