2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. excellent bookBy kolibrikThis book does an excellent job in discussing various problematic issues arising from situations when parents get overinvolved in their children's life. It also explains how some of the common "adult" issues such as lack of self-esteem, inability to achieve the goal or general unhappiness with life may stem from such parent-child relationships. What I found particularly useful and interesting is how these problems can further affect love relationships and marriage.I greatly enjoyed reading this book and getting some advice from it both as a child and as a parent. Definitely recommend it to both individuals and couples who feel too dependent on or too controlled by parents (or parents-in-law) and parents who are too worried about their children and cannot effectively deal with the urge to help them in every possible even unnecessary aspect.The problem outlined here is not always well recognized by our society but is clearly a very important one.3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Parenting never ends....how to be a healthy parent of adult childrenBy patproBook arrived on time and in condition promised...actually even better than expected.I read this book years ago. Many points stayed with me. Recently, I began talking about it with friends and I wanted to revisit it again to be sure I had remembered it correctly. This is a great parenting book for raising healthy children. I especially like the points on how to parent adult children, even when your child has left the nest and in a relationship with a partner. I highly recommend it!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A great book that explains so much.By Chelle AustenThis book is a masterpiece. I have loaned the book out, given copies away and have had to order it several times. People who have the problems described in the book have no other source that hits the nail on the head like this book does. Adult children who have had parents who love too much are extremely difficult to live with and be around. This book helps sort out the reasons and gives real solutions. A real gem of a book that can help everyone involved.
