Product Information

Remember that you always have the right to be treated with respect, and to protest unfair treatment or criticism. The well-known memoirist ( Wild), novelist ( Torch), and radio-show host (“Dear Sugar”) pulls lines from her previous pages and delivers them one at a time in this small, gift-sized book. In Adult Survivors of Toxic Family Members, psychologist and toxic family survivor Sherrie Campbell offers effective strategies for setting strong boundaries after ending contact with a toxic family member, and provides powerful tools to help you heal from shame, self-doubt, and stigma.

Warm and compassionate, Mothers Who Can't Love offers daughters the emotional support and tools they need to heal themselves and rebuild their confidence and self-respect. Some are astoundingly simple, such as Strayed’s declaration that “Love is the feeling we have for those we care deeply about and hold in high regard. That sense of being lovable—worthy of affection and attention, of being seen and heard—becomes the bedrock on which she builds her earliest sense of self, and provides the energy for its growth.If this sounds like you, this audiobook will give you the courage and faith you need to jump across the threshold from where you are - to where you want to be.

Susan Forward draws on real-life voices and stories of both women and men struggling to free themselves from the frustrating, hurtful, and infuriating relationships with their toxic in-laws.As parents, the impulse to protect our children is strong, but that very protection can end up handicapping them for life. Forward examines the Narcissistic Mother, the Competitive Mother, the Overly Enmeshed mother, the Control Freak, Mothers who need Mothering, and mothers who abuse or fail to protect their daughters from abuse. Remember – abusive mothers are still abusive even if they give you gifts, even if they sometimes act sweet, even if they send you to the best private schools. If so, chances are you have fallen into one or all of the hidden psychological traps that constitute the Good Daughter Syndrome. Filled with compelling case histories, Mothers Who Can t Love outlines the self-help techniques Forward has developed to transform the lives of her clients, showing women how to overcome the pain of childhood and how to act in their own best interests.

The children of abusive mothers, by contrast, may recognize the abuse - but overlook its lasting, harmful effects.

In infancy and childhood, a daughter catches the first glimpse of herself in the mirror that is her mother’s face. Many unloving mothers make sure their daughters look and sound good in public, and they pay attention to behaving lovingly in public which is all the more confusing to a child.
