Book Reviews of Toxic Parents: Overcoming Their Hurtful Legacy and Reclaiming Your Life
Book Review: To blame or not to blame our parents
Summary: 4 Stars
While half or us would like to deny that our parents have a big (and sometimes bad) influence over us, the other half would gladly blame their parents for their adult life problems. This book is kind of a midpoint between both positions. It talks about the painful legacies we get from our parents but also makes us responsible for our adult behavior. It isn't theorical or complicated, it's easy and full with stories that covers almost everything from verbal to sexual abuse.
Some people don't like the title, but believe me it can't be worst, the title in Spanish is "Padres que Odian" (Parent's that hate).
If you were raised by a human been and not a saint there is a big chance you can relate with this book, but remember to read it as a son or daughter not as a parent.
