Book Reviews of Coping With Your Difficult Older Parent : A Guide for Stressed-Out Children

Book Review: A Great Help for a Difficult Mother In Law
Summary: 5 Stars

My mother-in-law has been a constant source of torment for my husband since I've known him. Not being able to see beyond the pain we felt from her hurtful words, angry words and defensive reactions were par for the course on a weekly basis.

In reading just the first 4 chapters, we already have been able to see the pattern of negativity we have contributed to over the years, rationalize the reasons behind her anger (mostly self-image) and have learned some tactics and language that we have used successfully to diffuse difficult conversations and her angry e-mails! This is a must read for anyone with a difficult parent, to help you see the forest beyond the trees and at least be able to communicate peaceably and enjoy the time you have left.
