SELF-HELP BOOKS
I have been looking at some self-help books I thought could provide some guidance not only for my DH but me too as I have children of my own soon to be little adults. I have heard wonderful things about the Jim Burns book below:
1. Doing Life with Your Adult Children: Keep Your Mouth Shut and the Welcome Mat Out Paperback – March 26, 2019
by Jim Burns Ph.D
2. Now That They Are Grown: Successfully Parenting Your Adult Children
by Ronald J. Greer
3. Healing from Hidden Abuse: A Journey Through the Stages of Recovery from Psychological Abuse
by Shannon Thomas
Has anyone read any of these?
also, I started reading "Love like you have never been hurt" by Jentezen Franklin. It is a good book, about forgiveness, rebirth, and moving forward by letting go of past hurt. I just bought the book, dont judge.

Can't comment on the first
Can't comment on the first two, but the Shannon Thomas one isn't bad. I recommend "The Empathy Trap - Understanding Antisocial Personalities" by Jane McGregor which is relevant to the people that a lot of StepTalk members encounter.
Sounds interesting...
"The Empathy Trap - Understanding Antisocial Personalities" is going on my reading list. Sounds so appropriate for so many aspects of my life! Thanks posting!
