I am writing this review after reading through the book once. I plan to read it again and again if necessary until it all sinks in. The review about "trash your family save yourself" needs to be looked at where it is probably coming from, a victim of everything described in this book. An absolute MUST for uncovering, identifying and working to resolve issues on covert incest. Also as I read in a review, it goes into how covert incest by the mother can affect the child severely also. Something too taboo for most to bring up. This book likely pulled me out of the pits of depression and saved my life - if not literally, figuratively. It is so relieving to have shown and explained, the hideousness and consequences of covert incest. Oh, by the way, my brother didn't like the "name" of this book. Said he would not read it because he "rejected" the title using the word "incest." DON'T THROW THE BABY OUT WITH THE BATHWATER!!!!!! This book can help you identify whatever you would like to call bizarrely and hurtfully close relationships amongst the family.

This book addresses a common family dynamic that happens when parents try to rely on their children for emotional support. Gives a good description of the problem along with strategies to work past it.

It was a hard read because of how much this book made sense to my H and I. It's well written and easy to understand. This was most definitely life changing for us and set us on a much better road. I recommend this book all the way. (And have!)

I purchased this book because of another family member (not immediate) experiencing serious issues with her parents, as well as a close friend of mine trying to break free from a very emotionally dependent parent. The book clearly spells out the kinds of problems children endure because of emotionally dependent parents and gives great advice on how to break and stay free. It is very insighful reading because it is written by someone who has been there and lived that. I highly reccomend it.

Everyone should read this book. There is so much information in it about how healthy families behave that it would be useful even for those who have not been subject to an extremely close relationship with a parent.
Don't be put off by the title. "Emotional Incest" sounds strong and you might be tempted to believe that it doesn't apply to you. Read the back cover and decide for yourself.
