Susan Forward: Toxic Parents; Overcoming Their Hurtful Legacy and Reclaiming Your Life

Description

Millions of lives are damaged by the legacy of parental abuse:
· Parents who ignored their children's needs or overburdened them with guilt.
· Parents who were alcoholic or addicted to drugs.
· Parents who were exploitative and cruel, or simply indifferent and inadequate.

When these children reach adulthood the damage done by their toxic parents manifests itself in depression, or difficulties with relationships, careers and decision-making. In Toxic Parents, Dr Susan Forward shows why it is sodifficult to put the past behind you and helps readers to confront this painful legacy with tested self-help techniques.
