Toxic Relatives. How to Stop Their Influence on Your Life and Preserve Yourself

A practical and supportive book from a psychologist with 25 years of experience in pocketbook format. It will help you give respectful resistance and outline personal boundaries in relationships with loved ones. 

The people closest to us hurt us the most. We tolerate jibes and disdain, mockery and devaluation, accumulate grievances, and pretend that everything is fine. But toxic relationships destroy us from within and prevent us from living fully. Loving someone does not mean being in a relationship with them, just as forgiveness does not always mean reconciliation. This book is a wonderful story about how sometimes it is necessary to sever ties with toxic relatives in order to finally breathe freely.

You will learn:
- how the toxicity of parents, adult children, brothers and sisters, grandparents, and other relatives manifests
- the difference between marginalized and cruel family members
- whether you need to sever ties with people who make you unhappy
- what it means to have no contact with close relatives

Practicing psychologist Dr. Sherry Campbell offers a guide for those who want to understand what is happening and take care of their own emotional safety in relationships with loved ones. This book will help you get rid of toxic relationships, love yourself, and fundamentally change your life for the better!
