If you have any real reason to read this book, it will probably give you fits periodically just because there’s so much pain wrapped up in having a toxic parent. I had three (long story) so I have my work cut out for me. I actually started consuming this a few weeks ago; the first half of the book is a breeze and almost seems pointless at first, but as soon as I started doing the second half, which is more practical, I got set off and had to call my doc for help. This could take a while.
