[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 162527, member: 3353"] I don't know whether I already suggested these books or not, so excuse me if I have, okay? The Verbally Abusive Relationship by Patricia Evans. Self Esteem by McKay/Fanning Shame and Grace, by someone I don't remember right now. Verbal abuse, whether from a partner, a friend, an employer, or a parent, affects our spirits the same way. If we can learn to spot it, we can learn to counter its effects. If we can tune in to those negative tapes from our pasts, we can at least understand them to be meaningless, today. Once we get that, we can perform to our own expectations, instead of those imprinted in us by parents too sick, or too damaged themselves, to parent well. Each of those books is available at the library, tryinghard. :) Barbara [/QUOTE]
