Title: How to Deal!
Review: I picked up this book over 20 years ago and read it. It made so much sense! I was (and am still, but working on it!) codependent and I didn't follow their advice. Now my kids are adults, 28 and 33. I have just now re-read the book and this time I AM going to follow thru! If I had done so, 20+ years ago, I would not be going thru what I am now! This is an EXCELLENT book! I cannot overstate it's usefulness! If you want to stop "hating" your teen for all they are doing to you, agst you, and agst themselves, read this! YOU deserve self-care, you deserve respect, and yes, so do they. Your kids, no matter what their ages, "have everything they need to make their own decisions and run their own lives." "Watch with interest" as they change under your own eyes with the help of the advice in this book. Well worth the read!Also highly recommended in conjunction with this book, is reading "The New Codependency" by Melodie Beattie on self-care. Desperate parents need help! You can't do it alone.
