Pros & Cons
Cons
Every abusive parent i know of is narcissistic. She wants to label all abusive parents as monsters, and many aren't.
New hardcover with yellow pages and dusty smell. Very disappointing for the purchase of a new book. I feel like i am more setback as i had higher hopes than to have another purchase which will go without use.
Not a book to help you on overcoming the issues. It is filled with cynicism aimed at tearing down value constructs under the guise of healing. One anecdote quotes a patient who is 40+ years of age.
