A Toxic Mother - A Guide to How To Recognize One and Getting Out From Under

A Toxic Mother - A Guide to How To Recognize One and Getting Out From Under is not a 'misery memoir' in that there is nothing miserable about it. It is the story of someone who spent almost a lifetime under the cloud of a toxic parent but who lived to tell the tale, sense of humour and sense of self intact. This did not come easily. To achieve this, you need strategies, support and insight. A toxic parent is not your fault, they are not your responsibility and they don't have to be your cross to bear either. Identifying a toxic parent is relatively easy – the book uses questions found in countless online questionnaires as chapter titles – but getting out from under is another thing. The author of this book is not an expert psychologist, but they are an expert in dealing with the cantankerous, the belittling and the downright dangerous faces of a toxic parent. Told with grace and humour, A Toxic Mother is a must read for anyone who is feeling the weight of the world on their shoulders, put there by a parent who doesn't care how toxic they are as long as they are on the winning side. Get out from under – let Alex Farrell be your guide to a new toxin-free life!
