Very dangerous & harmful for society as a whole
Author is messed up mentally and this will be a very unfair negative influence on others. This author is someone who is very mentally ill and sadly never got the PROPER and much needed counseling while she was young and throughout her life, even as an adult. This book will do more harm to others reading it. It is basically her opinions that are not supported fairly or properly. She seemed to use those such as specialists as Dr. Sharp who validated and supported the author’s thoughts and feelings and to validate the author for the actions and treatments she had instilled in herself and her life.
Her credentials and research and specialists were very biased, Dr. Sharp especially, were mainly improper weak sources, even her studies used were one sided and not an accurate picture to the complete issue. The author seemed to only pick and choose bits and pieces of everything that favored her ideas and she left out anything and anyone that contradicted her. She seemed to mainly use pretty much those that validated or favored and or supported her negative decisions, acts and thoughts and treatment towards her parents and family. This author is and has been mentally ill since a very young age it seems. People like this author and her supportive specialists and interviews have led to an extremely wrong and unfair and very hurtful severe critical epidemic with estrangement between parents and adult children.
I would love to be around and see this author give this book to her children as they enter into the era where they become adults. I would also love to see them do this whole unfairly estrangement issue with her, the author as their mom....for whatever reason they feel that they need to blame their mom for any kind of troubles or ill feelings whatsoever that they may have in their adult years.
THIS BOOK AND ALL OF ITS COMMENTS (the author’s opinions and blaming mechanism) IS NOT THE WAY TO DEAL WITH YOUR OWN ISSUES...YOU DON'T JUST BE SO SELFISH AND HURTFUL AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS AUTHOR IS AND HAS DONE. YOU GET PROPER COUNSELING WITH A PROPER PERSON AND YOU TRY TO WORK THRU ISSUES AND THEN YOU ACCEPT EACH OTHER FOR WHAT YOU BOTH ARE AND MOVE ON AS A FAMILY TOGETHER BEING THERE FOR EACH OTHER AND HELPING EACH OTHER, NOT EXPECTING EACH OTHER TO BE A PERFECT VERSION OF THEIR OWN WISHES!! THIS BOOK IS WRONG AND VERY HARMFUL TO SOCIETY!
