🧪🧪🧪🧪🧪 “I didn’t know whether to cry or cackle — so I did both.”
🧪🧪🧪🧪🧪 “This book gave me courage and the permission to breathe. Also it made me spit out my coffee more than once.”
🧪🧪🧪🧪🧪 “BOTH of my parents were/are toxic. Knowing that I’m not alone gave me hope—and now I have new coping strategies, too. A must-read for anyone dealing with complicated parents!”
You tried forgiveness.
Now try freedom.
😇 You were the good kid. The peacekeeper. The straight-A student who swallowed your anger and said “it’s fine” when it absolutely was not.
🎭 Congratulations. You were raised by a toxic parent.
🔥 I, too, was a once-obedient child—trained in guilt, fluent in gaslight, and armed with nothing but people-pleasing as a survival skill. Did I set out to be ruthless? Don’t be ridiculous. But after decades of emotional hostage negotiations disguised as family dinners, I’ve stopped mistaking dysfunction for devotion.
📖 In this no-nonsense little manual, you’ll learn how to:
✨ Recognize manipulation even when it’s gift-wrapped as “love,”
✨ Break the cycle of guilt without breaking your soul,
✨ And stop setting yourself on fire to keep your parents warm.
You tried forgiving.
Now try freedom. 💅
