Excellent copy

The book came in great time. There was some highlighting. Book was in great condition.

Outstanding book

This is an outstanding book and resource for navigating the at-times confusing journey of healing childhood traumas. This book clearly identifies and clarifies things for you so that you can make sense of your life and your problems and start to heal and evolve. I read many self help books and still felt lost. I came across this book and everything finally made sense. This book helped me tremendously and I frequently recommend it to others.

A must have for hurting Adult Children

This book is an absolute must for individuals navigating the past and current experiences of having emotionally immature parents. Do you find yourself feeling alone, unheard, invalidated, and unsupported when reaching out to your parents? Do you deal with the consequences of having parents who are unwilling or unable to help guide you through tough times? Purchase this book, feel understood and connected with others who have dealt with the same types of emptiness and hurt from their parents. This book not only offers personal accounts that you may be able to relate to, it helps you gain an understanding as well.

Validated My Experiences

I recently made the decision to stop communication with my dad, after reading this book I felt seen for my experiences and traumas that I have suffered from him. This book was like reading a part if me I always knew was there but wasn't able to fully express. i have learned so much about myself lately and this book helped me to look past self-doubt and focus on my needs and limitations.

Very comforting

If you ever had parents that are emotionally immature, or if you grew up with toxic parents this is perfect for you. It gives you peace, validation, and more understanding of your parents/situation. It really made me feel more at peace how I am today and seeing where to work on my own emotions and how to be a better parent. I cannot recommend this book enough.
