Growing Up in a Difficult Family

Each of us grows up with the mental and emotional seeds that our parents planted in us when we were little. While in some families these seeds are a source of love, respect and independence, unfortunately in many families the seeds also include fear, sanctions and feelings of guilt. These seeds sprout as we grow and affect our emotions, behaviors, and therefore the relationships we establish with others in our adult lives. The book opens the doors to regaining their lives for adults who were exposed to physical, emotional or sexual abuse by their parents when they were young, who were raised with feelings of fear and guilt, or who were not cared for.

Were you afraid of your mother or father when you were a child? Do you hesitate to express your anger towards your mother or father? Does disagreeing with your mother or father worry you? Do your parents still treat you like a child? When you are too close to someone, do you worry that they will hurt you or leave you? Adults who answer these and similar questions positively will confront their painful emotions thanks to the cases described in the book, and with the suggested solutions, they will purify their lives from the negative effects of these emotions and regain their damaged self-esteem and self-confidence.

Growing Up in a Difficult Family, prepared by Susan Forward, a world-renowned therapist, together with Craig Buck, based on her years of experience, aims to help adult children whose daily lives are under the influence, or even control, of the destructive behaviors their parents have exhibited in the past.
