Book excerpt: You Are About To Discover Exactly How To Deal With A Toxic Parent With Stealth And Tact While Still Keeping Your Sanity Intact! Why does my parent (mother/father) behave as though I am invisible to them; never listening, showing concern or regarding my opinion? Why don't they ever realize they're hurting me when they scold irrationally, mortify and set unrealistic standards? Why does my parent overreact when I try to address their negative behavior? Why are they so critical, disparaging, opinionated, exploitative and insensitive (and often guilt tripping)? If you've been asking yourself one or more of such questions, then you might be dealing with a toxic or narcissistic parent, which means that you came to the right place. A child is naturally inclined to look to their parents for support, love and encouragement. It's important for us to feel like we're being seen and heard as we grow up. Unfortunately, some of us have to grow up with parents who not only deny us of these emotional security blankets, but use us as objects to further their own goals, secure their confidence through validation, secure attention to themselves and ignore our emotional needs- to say the least. Generally, such parents lack empathy and compassion, and their traits tend influence our lives negatively and make us feel hopeless, guilty, helpless and stuck. But there's a way out. By virtue that you are reading this, it clear that you are seeking help to come out of this endless cycle of frustration. How do I make my mother or father to stop tormenting me? Why do they do it all the time? Have I done something wrong to them? Do they hate me to be so toxic? How do I start creating boundaries? How do I still maintain a relationship with them after all that? When is it best to cut ties with them or minimize contact? Regardless of how toxic, selfish or narcissistic your parent is, you can transform your mind and deal with them accordingly to save your sanity and life. This book is here to show you what you need to do to not only cope with them, but establish a superior mindset to exercise choice, be positive and build yourself in all relevant aspects for lasting peace, happiness and success. Here's A Bit Of What You'll Discover From It: Who toxic parents are and how toxic parenting is manifested How you'd know that you're having a toxic parent How to exercise your choice within an environment of toxic parenting How to nurture a positive state of mind to succeed How to deal with your parents like an adult, confidently and decisively How to look after your needs and well-being to see positive results faster How to build yourself by laying focus on your financial stability and independence ...And so much more This book understands the urgency of getting over with the negativity and finding happiness and peace as soon as possible.

Download or read book But It s Your Family written by Sherrie Campbell and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A psychologist offers a roadmap for those looking to break free of toxic family relationships and thrive in the aftermath. Toxic family abuse is always two-fold. The first layer of abuse is the original poor treatment by toxic family members, and the second is someone’s denial of the ways in which abusers treat and harm them. Loving someone doesn’t always mean having a relationship with them, just like forgiveness doesn’t always mean reconciliation. A significant part of healing comes with accepting that there are some relationships that are so poisonous that they destroy one’s ability to be healthy and function best. But It’s Your Family is a remarkable account of what it means to cut ties to toxic family abuse and thrive in the aftermath. Inside, Dr. Sherrie Campbell clarifies: · How parents, adult children, siblings, grandparents, and in-laws can be toxic · The difference between flawed and toxic family members · Explaining the cutting of ties to children and others who may not understand · Spiritual and religious views on forgiveness · The definition of cutting ties and what No Contact actually means When readers are able to bring closure to those toxic relationships, they give themselves the space to love those family members from a distance, as fellow human beings, with the knowledge that it is unwise to remain connected. Readers learn how to love themselves in the process and fundamentally change their lives for the better!

Book excerpt: Are you an adult child of a narcissistic mother? Do you suspect your mother has Narcissistic Personality Disorder? Caroline Foster, an experienced life coach, will lead you into a painful path of awareness, but she will also give you concrete advice on how to handle your toxic mother and change your life for the better. If you read this book: You will discover all the reasons why your childhood was so traumatic. You will learn how to handle your narcissistic mother. You will discover all of the dysfunctional beliefs and habits that you developed during your childhood. You will learn how to contrast Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder symptoms. The issue of toxic mothers undeniably challenges the status quo in various ways, but most certainly needs to be addressed. Adult children of narcissistic parents are often plagued with such an abundance of guilt and sense of deep obligation and shame that it causes them to feel duty-bound to keep whatever happened in the family secret, even when it is destroying their lives. It's really difficult to share your experience in this case, because narcissists, and especially a narcissistic mother, can be very good at creating the perfect family image for outsiders looking in. The solution is not forgiving or forgetting. You should understand your situation and work on your self-development in order to take back control of your life.

Download or read book Raising Boys to Be Good Men written by Aaron Gouveia and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If you are the parent of a boy . . . this is the book you need . . . insightful, enlightened, practical." —Peggy Orenstein, New York Times bestselling author of Boys & Sex From the dad who created the viral tweet supporting his son wearing nail polish, this essential parenting guide shares 36 parenting tips for battling gender norms, bringing down "man up" culture, and helping sons realize their potential. Our boys are in a crisis. Toxic masculinity and tough guy-ism are on display daily from our leaders, and we see anger, dysfunction, violence, and depression in young men who are suffocated by harmful social codes. Our young sons are told to stop throwing like a girl. They hear phrases like “man up” when they cry. They are told “boys will be boys” when they behave badly. The “Girl Power” movement has encouraged women to be whoever and do whatever they want, but that sentiment is not often extended to boys. Just watch the bullying when boys try ballet, paint their fingernails, or play with a doll. But we can treat this problem—and the power lies in the hands of parents. It's not only possible to raise boys who aren't emotionally stifled and shoved into stereotypical gender boxes; it's vital if we want a generation of men who can express their emotions, respect women, and help nurse society back to a halfway healthy place. We can reframe manhood. From Aaron Gouveia, who gained viral fame after tweeting his support for his son’s painted fingernails (and who knows toxic masculinity very well), learn practical and actionable tips such as: Don’t accept different standards for moms and dads Teach boys that “girl” is not an insult and retire phrases like “boys will be boys” Show boys that expressing their emotions and being physical is a good thing Let boys pursue nontraditional interests and hobbies Talk to boys about consent and privilege Model healthy and respectful relationships for boys to emulate Penned with equal parts humor, biting snark, and lived advice, Raising Boys to Be Good Men is the essential parenting guide for raising sons to realize their potential outside the box. ​
