Synopsis

Our parents are a huge deal: and no matter our relationship to them, who we are today (our love stories, our attitudes, our self-esteem) is crucially connected to our relationships with our origin families. Following on from the bestselling How To Overcome Your Childhood, Getting Over Your Parents is a practical guide on how to navigate the complex legacies left to us by our parents, and how to parent ourselves. By exploring different types of parents, such as “The Preoccupied Parent”, “The Overprotective Parent”’ and “The Controlling Parent”, it offers a vocabulary to understand some of the stranger and more difficult things that parents sometimes do to their children, as well as giving advice on how to move forward from our puzzles or confusions. The emphasis is never on blame, always on understanding. Offering constructive solutions for dealing with the symptoms of a difficult childhood, this book helps us to explore the past so that we can avoid the mistakes our parents made, and secure for ourselves the more creative, calm and loving future we deserve.

School of Life books are the best. This one contains the kind of unsentimental, unflinchingly honest advise we all wish we could get but usually don't. The gist of it is that if you want to get over your parents, you have to have an honest picture of what went on during your childhood. Flawed humans......more

If you don't know where to start with this subject - this book is the perfect introduction. It features important, empathetic talks around this, without putting blame on the parents, but taking you from the place where you need a better understanding and direction in your way of thinking & positioni......more
