Review of If You Had Controlling Parents: How to Make Peace with Your Past and Take Your Place in the World (Paperback)

This book is one of the best self help books I have read in a long time.It dealt more with the emotional than the physical abuse in childhood.I have always had a hard time because to me emotional abuse specially whenmixed with religion can be so easily justified in your mind.You can feellike "something is really wrong here", but then in the samebreath say "well they love me so much and are just obeying God andwhat he requires of parents".I have been eaten up with guilt for therebellion against my parents that I displayed as a teenager.Now though Irealize I rebelled against their control, not against them inorder to hurtthem or make them miserable.I read this book, started seeing a therapistand confronted my parents and let me tell you how much freedom I feel forthe first time in life.I actually feel happy, and a great sense of hope. What do I owe my parents? Why am I so fearful of hurting their feelings?Why can't I just do what is healthy for me? The book answered thesequestions and the exercises were wonderful.We need more books like thisone because obviously there is a problem in parenting that needs to belooked at and changed fast!Kids are becoming more violent, lessrespectful of authority, and completely losing any conscience what-so-ever. So if I can break the generation sin that has been passed down forgenerations, then I am thankful I was put in the home I was put in andstrong enough to SURVIVE!

Review of When You're Expecting Twins, Triplets, or Quads, Revised Edition: Proven Guidelines for a Healthy Multiple Pregnancy (Paperback)

When I found out I was pregnant with twins, I looked to pregnancy books to help, but they approached twins as "a little extra pregnant". It wasn't until this book that I started REALLY knowing how to care for myselfand my 2 babies.It saved my pregnancy and my sanity.A MUST! Forexample, the worshipped "What to expect when you're expecting"books gave me absolute INCORRECT information regarding exercise, diet,weight gain, working... and I spent the first part of my pregnancymiserable that I was losing weight and feeling awful. Something in my guttold me that 10 pounds in the first half of the pregnancy wasn't enough fortwins.Also, the diet they wanted me to follow was making me throw upevery day.My body, again, told me to just eat whatever I could keep down,but "THE BOOK" made me feel guilty about even LOOKING at acheeseburger.Well, again, THANK GOD I found Dr. Luke and Tamara's book. It confirmed everything I'd already felt was right.Plus, it is writtenwith a great positive attitude with so much encouragement.I would not behaving such a healthy pregnancy without it.I will never stop beinggrateful for this book! I've told so many people about it and am happy tospread the word. READ IT READ IT READ IT!
