“It’s an intense read, but it hits. I’ve read more than a few good books this year, but this one was certainly most useful.”↗

“Good books for parents (or would-be, or aspiring parents) to read would be Running on Empty by Jonice Webb and Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents. It will give you a sense of the baggage that Boomers saddled their kids with, and how to stop passing that on”↗
