No more drama

You don't choose your family, but you do choose what you put up with.

How many times have you felt like you don't understand your own family at all?
How many times have your loved ones hurt you more than anyone else?
And how many times have you let it go because 'they're family'?
Perhaps it's no longer about trying to be more tolerant, but about setting clear boundaries for behaviour that hurts you. Whether it's inappropriate remarks at a family gathering, trauma from emotional neglect, various addictions or mental illnesses, or even mistreatment and abuse that is still unspoken at the dinner table.
Nedra Glover Tawwab offers an exceptionally practical and compassionate book filled with examples that will teach you how to identify dysfunctional family patterns and choose the best possible path to remedy them where it's still possible.
Among other things, the book will teach you to:
Perceive your parents objectively, as people with their own faults and limits.
End a close relationship sensitively but decisively if it's not developing in the desired direction.
Where to find support and positive emotions if not within the family.
Realise that constantly excusing the behaviour of our loved ones doesn't help solve the problem.
How to effectively manage friction within the family and use it for personal growth.
