A Great book for me to learn more about exploring my own emotions, and grow. I really enjoyed the chapter about boundaries. A lot of times, I had to look into myself for my own behaviors and emotions. The takeaway from this book is that you need to prepare yourself for situations and how you would react. I remember one time when I was ready and prepared for a confrontation. I didn't feel enmeshed with feelings.

Not all parents give up themselves to foster the development of their children. Some parents remain focussed on their own needs and agendas.

Nina Brown, Ed. D., LPC is the author of 17 books most of which deal with self-absorbed people.

I thought this was one of the best self-help books I have ever read. It does a thorough job covering the topic of Destructive Narcissistic Parents and provides scales to help place the amount of impact their behavior had upon your life. It provides many strategies for coping, empowering, and protecting from that impact; and gives exercises for becoming aware and growth and building empathy.

I cannot say it enough, this is a terrific book. Dr. Brown knows her stuff.
