Synopsis

This was my life, my nightmare...I served as a human shield for my kids. I took the blows emotionally, mentally, and psychologically, behind closed doors. I watched in horror as life was being sucked from my own children. I felt guilty anytime I took an evening out for me. I rushed home any night I was away wondering what nightmare I would find this time. I exhausted every measure to try to bring peace into these relationships. I reached that point of total exhaustion, total collapse. I had no fuel left in my tank. I reached bone dry, completely empty!How about you? Do you worry about leaving your kids with the other parent? Do you worry for their physical safety? Emotional safety? Mental and psychological safety? Do your kids hide when the other parent is around? Are they afraid of that parent? Have you watched in horror as your child’s feelings are trampled into the ground? Have you felt that biting pain that you are losing your own child to anger, depression, and fear? Have you stood helpless and hopeless, all alone with nowhere to turn?I know your pain! You are NOT alone!! It is time to fight for your kids. It is time to help them, to give them strength, and to stand by their side. No more hiding. No more melting in tears. It is time to stand firm and strong!! Join me today as we take a stand for love and peace!When our kids suffer, parenting hurts. When our co-parent is toxic, parenting crushes our soul. This book is a 2nd edition of my former book titled Parenting with a Covert Narcissist. The toxicity associated with covert narcissism is certainly not limited to that form of abusive parenting. There are many forms of toxic parenting, including narcissistic personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, and other cluster B personalities. Toxic parenting causes serious emotional damage to the children involved. Kids who are suffering at the hands of a toxic parent need help building emotional strength. They do not feel safe expressing their own emotions, but rather feel that they are under attack. Wounded children can easily continue the cycle of wounding, passing it on to their own children. This trend can poison a family for generations. It is time to stop this vicious cycle!This book helps you to guide your kids through emotional development. It provides you with plans and tools to carry out those plans. They need a safe place, and you can be that for them. No matter what your circumstances are, it is never too late to fight for your children!Be the anchor they so desperately need. Build your knowledge and your toolbox. As you get stronger, so do they, and as they get stronger, so do you. We are stronger together!
