Title: Portrays an unhealthy relationship
Review: I have been a therapist for quite a few years now and was recommended this book by a client. I had a sickening feeling as I closed the book for it more portrayed an abusive, codependent relationship without proper boundaries than a healthy, mutually respectable one. I feel it is important that we as parents (I am also a mother of three) have good boundaries with our children, because we are teaching them how they must be themselves. If we want them to have proper boundaries with others, we need to show them how it's done by having them ourselves. There are a few other Shel Silverstein books I would recommend, however. The Missing Piece Meets the Big O, in particular, and, a little less so, its prequel, The Missing Piece.
