This book has an answer for these people. Feb 19, Angelina rated it it was amazing. First time reading on the topic dysfunctional family and how such system affects child and later on an adult, "child adult". Personally, I enjoy any psychology book which explores complex human emotions, psychology theories in a simple relatable language.

For me, this book, delivers just that. If you are looking for some techniques, tools of overcoming "adult child within" I would say, it isn't a go to book. It certainly a go to book to increase an awareness on the topic and acknowledge if you have an issue. I think this book should be read by everyone at least once for its insights on emotional behaviour.

This was a very succinct set of descriptions as it relates to those having been raised in dysfunctional households. There were many times when I had to just say, "those were words I did not have to describe what I was experiencing".

I am praying to undo any harm done to my children and to mature with compassion from this level of growth. I will do the best I can with what I have available, like everyone else.
