The Mother I Carry: A Memoir of Healing from Emotional Abuse by Louise M. Wisechild

I recommend this book for anyone who wants to understand how our childhood relationships affect our adult life; the emotionally crippling "messages" we receive as children of abusers; how these messages are internalized; what we try to do to counterbalance them [survive]; and how effectively a creative child can be in the face of overwhelming abuse; and how and what we can do to heal our wounded selves so we can function with conscious awareness and true connection in our adult world.

Toxic In-Laws: Loving Strategies for Protecting Your Marriage by Susan Forward

"Are your in-laws poisoning your marriage?
Bestselling author Susan Forward shows you how to manage their behavior without jeopardizing your relationship with your spouse.
Toxic in-laws come in a variety of guises. There's the Critic, who can't wait to tell you what you're doing wrong: the Controller, who tries to run your life; the Engulfer, who makes constant demands on your time; and the Master of Chaos, whose numerous problems inevitably end up in your lap. If you're suffering from these or from any other type of infuriating in-laws, your frustration is likely affecting your relationship with your spouse. This remarkable book will help.

With equal doses of understanding and advice, Susan Forward helps you navigate the treacherous waters of toxic in-laws. She explains the unique complexities of the in-law problem, a triangle that forces you and your spouse into a tug-of-war of loyalty and support. She shows how in-laws often manipulate their children to get what they want, and helps you understand the difficulties this poses for your partner."

Laura Davis, the coauthor of the bestselling The Courage to Heal and author of The Courage to Heal Workbook, offers practical advice, encouragement and much-needed support." "I read this book when an ex-love told me he had been sexually abused as a child. It was a revelation as to why our relationship had such strange dynamics. The book clues you in on the effects of abuse, the healing process and what to expect from your partner. If you are wondering at all about the effects and consequences of childhood sexual abuse READ THIS. The book is also quite good at addressing the abuse of both men and women, making it useful for anyone in a relationship with a survivor. VERY HONEST AND REVEALING READ)."

Codependent No More: How to Stop Controlling Others and Start Caring for Yourself by Melody Beattie

(I cannot emphasize enough how important this book is. It is a classic! This book assisted me in getting out of a bad relationship. This book helped me get my mind off of other people and back onto myself and onto my own needs. I was not even aware of what my needs where as I was so focused on others. If you feel you are codependent in any way, without a doubt I recommend this book highly. It will set you free to be yourself). A reader from Beacon NY says "This book saved my sanity, my relationship, maybe even my life. I was going through major upsets in my relationship due to a partner's addiction. I was trying to "fix the world" one painful day at a time. When nothing happened except for me to lose hope, trust, faith and love, I turned to a friend for advice. She recommended this book to me. I was skeptical to try yet another DO IT YOURSELF book to fix what was wrong with me, but this one opened my eyes. For the first time ever, I saw the patterns of my actions leading me straight to heartache and frustration. The descriptions were right on target, I saw myself in every list. It was scary, yet encouraging, because I did not feel alone, nor did I feel I was too far gone to be helped. This book will be a fixture on my nightstand to get me through the weaker points in my life. Whenever I need to take a reality check and think of ME instead of that other person, I open the pages and let it heal me. Thank you, Ms. Beattie!"
