Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Unfortunately thousands of adults (mainly women) could write autobiographies about living with enabling mothers. controlling fathers, and being enablers themselves. Maybe with less medical emergencies thrown in! There was no insight into why women live this way. Why women with a chance to leave abusive destructive relationships, families, stay. Why women, (her mother), live with, stay with and enable abusive, mentally ill, men. More importantly how to change, how to leave. The book begins with Tara as a young child so she knows no other way. However she is, I believe, around 28 years old with a PhD in history from Cambridge by the end of the book. Absolutely no insight as to why, even as an adult, she continually returns home and tolerates, allows, family, young children, relatives, to be harmed living in this horrible family dynamic.
