Resumen del Editor

The one thing you have to remember if you are dealing with either a toxic sibling, or a parent, or both is that, in the end, they are narcissists. That means they are in it for themselves, that they want and need to see themselves as your superior and that they will do some evil things to you to maintain that illusion. It’s simply who and what they are, and you cannot change them.

On the other hand, you can change yourself. Remember that all relationships are optional, even family relationships. Sure, you have a biological tie with the narcissist who expelled you from their birth canal, as you do with the sibling that took that journey either before or after you. Still, all that is simply an accident of biology, and it doesn’t mean you have to put up with their abuses. You are free to set the parameters of your life, and with that comes the option of dropping your abusive family member.

This book covers:

• Toxic parents
• Narcissistic parents
• Can there be a perfect parent?
• How can a toxic parent affect your life
• Relationships with alcoholic parents
• How to process a verbal abuser
• How to process physical abuser
• And much more

Your goal, in the end, is to be able to love yourself for who you are, your children for their beautiful, separate, authentic selves, and to provide for them all the things that your parents could not give you. You want to be mindful of your child and separate your needs and desires from theirs, focusing on them and not on yourself. Doing these things, turning away from your ego to concentrate on your child’s needs, will allow you to break the generational cycle of narcissistic abuse.

Must listen this book

I could see myself in so many of those case histories , my chronic lack of self esteem , being unable to form any sort of relationship , my inability to enjoy anything , my total lack of empathy .

Terrible narrator

The narrator almost sounds like a computerized voice, but worse, like she's trying to read every sentence like a local newscaster.

Note: not the Toxic Parents by Susan Forward!

This books title is missleading, since the book is mainly about narcisist parents. I accidentally bought it expecting Susan Forward "Toxic parents". Moreover- the narration is robotic.

Decent but text to speech is insufferable.

This was ok but the text to speech voice is about as aggravating as my toxic parents. Can someone please redo this please?

Excellent

The book is very well and researched. It really helped me understand more about myself and why I am the way I am. Can't thank the author enough.

Narrator sucks…

A really good book, but the Audible narrator ruined my experience. Please get a real live narrator, not this digital voice!

Insightful book

It answered a lot of questions eg why my parents always told me how wonderful everybody else was but never told me that I was any good whatever I achieved.

Very Informative

It lets you look at your life from a completely different perspective, it challenges you to evaluate yourself as a child & as a parent;

Great Info

I am the daughter of a toxic mother and can relate to the sentiments and experiences in this book. So often you feel you are alone and unless you see others in the same predicament you suspect that it is your fault after all.

Is this computer sound!!

I cannot keep listening to this audio book. The sound is so unnatural and very nice to listen to.
