Toxic Waste II: The Anger Issue

By Peter Gullerud

The effects of toxic narcissism can begin at home. Toxic people enter our lives unannounced with no warning labels. We need warning labels. Signs. Hints. Awareness.

"Toxic Waste" is a series of books educating children and young adults about such difficult and oft times dangerous people and how to navigate around, with and away from them. Eventually the encouragement to go "no contact" (or "low contact") with such people is a near given but until one is an adult, that luxury cannot be achieved in most cases.

Thus, this series is here to help educate and encourage the trusting and innocent, still at home, still in the system that is not always a good one. Childhood neglect and abandonment is child abuse and takes on many subtle covert and grossly overt costumes and in too many cases, the child only figures this fact out too much later in life. To paraphrase Nina Simone, 'if love isn't served, it is time to leave the table'.

I hope these books which will look unflinchingly at the random, bizarre and often clandestine behaviors of dysfunctional parents, siblings, clergy, teachers, fake friends via self absorbed and self-serving mindsets within recurrent ignorant traditions, might help the vulnerable in ways that could short circuit much of the harm these self absorbed adults and bullies knowingly or subconsciously perpetrate.

This is the second in a series on healthy, bolstering supports for children with sensitive hearts. They will help give kids a reason to protect themselves while remaining true to the love we need not let go of while gaining our independent strengths, talents and confidence.

These books are intended to be "undercover". Sneak one to a kid you believe could benefit from its encouragements.
