If your parents were waaaay too much in charge of your inner life and every decision, you may be having trouble breaking free... not just of them, but of the sense that you don't get to make your own choices, that you have to please everyone around you, and that you can't be your own person in close relationships. Yikes. Too relatable. Let's move on from that. This book can help learn assertiveness, healthy boundaries, confidence, and emotional balance, as well as the necessary art of not being controlling to your own kids.(** This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear. **.)
