Putting these up for anyone who needs them today.

Toxic Parents: Overcoming Their Hurtful Legacy and Reclaiming Your Life by Susan Forward

Why Does he DO That: Inside The Minds of Angry and Controlling Men by Lundy Bancroft

[superopinionated]

Cannot recommend WDHDT highly enough. I’ve found it helpful not just for romantic relationships, but also for growing up w a “unexplainable/uncontrollable” dad.

IT HAS ALSO BEEN REALLY HELPFUL FOR UNDERSTANDING ONLINE MOB HARASSMENT.

So if you’ve ever been bombarded w threats to be raped/killed, (so…if you’re a minority and you’ve been on the Internet for a while), this book might be useful for getting clarity around the whole entitled, abusive mindset that drives certain kinds of people to behave that way. And by “getting clarity”, I mean (for me) being able to go “oh, that’s what’s happening” and not really feel scared anymore. Or angry, or drawn out into it, or anything.

And if you’re still standing around going “but how does something like GamerGate happen?” or “but why do men hit their wives?” or whatever – please read that book and learn something.

[omgthatdress]

^^^^ truth WDHDT is fantastic at cutting down MRA bullshit and calling it what it really is

[kithnkin]

[swampseer]

Please consider reading these. WDHDT is really, really helpful. And I know some of you are struggling with abusive relationships, friendships, families, etc. You’re not alone. There is help.

Yo. This family holiday, please, please take care of yourself. You aren’t there to be anybody else’s cushion.

Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents

Reading any of these books does not mean you don’t love your parents or family.  It’s just self care for helping you cope and not repeat the behaviors. 

[anna-mator]

A gentle reminder that I have Toxic Parents as a FREE PDF if you would like to download it and read it on your own. Take care of yourselves.

[heavyweightheart]

All the books in this thread are great; adding this one because it was the most helpful to me. Free pdf here

[naamahdarling]

Jesus Christ, the codependency checklist in Toxic Parents…WOW, I’ve been through that.

[naamahdarling]

Hooo damn.

Children need to make mistakes and discover that it’s not the end of the world. That’s how they gain the confidence to try new things in life.Toxic parents impose unobtainable goals, impossible expectations, and ever-changing rules on their children. They expect their children to respond with a degree of maturity that can come only from life experiences that are inaccessible to a child. Children are not miniature adults, but toxic parents expect them to act as if they are.

Someone go back and write this on a brick and throw it at my mother, please.

[ID:

Image 1: book with a blue background. ‘toxic parents: overcoming their hurtful legacy and reclaiming your life’ by Susan Forward PhD with Craig Buck. A red banner at the top says the book is a number 1 New York Times best seller.

 Image 2: a book with a large red box with all the text in and a navy blue border. 'Why does he do that?: inside the minds of angry and controlling men’ by Lundy Bancroft. The 'do’ of the title is emphasised. 

 Image 3: image of a book, the top half is a light cream, resembling paper, with a torn edge. The bottom third of the book is a bright green. Book title is 'will I ever be good enough?’ With a subtitle 'healing the daughters of narcissistic mothers’, by Karyl McBride PhD. There is a picture in the centre of two women; the top woman is the right way up, folding her arms and looking off to one side, pensive. The second woman is upside down, arms also crossed, looking up at the first woman, not smiling. There is a quote at the top by Sandy Hotchkiss saying 'Dr Karyl McBride has convened a fellowship of female voices to describe every flavour of experience with maternal narcissism… You are no longer alone on the road to recovery.' 

 Image 4: image of a book intended to look like textured art paper. Title in red text is 'Mothers who can’t love’ with the word 'can’t’ in black and emphasised. Subtitle 'a healing guide for daughters’ by Susan Forward PhD. It states she is a New York Times best selling author, and also states 'with Donna Frazier Glynn’ in smaller writing. At points down the cover there are three hearts, with bits taken away, less at the top and more at the bottom, giving the image of a disappearing heart going down the page.

Cat Behavior

[cleoolsson]

a lot of people tend to confuse cats showing their belly for belly rubs, but it’s actually only something dogs do, for cats its a sign of respect and trust, they are not expecting to get pet, so when they do it’s not uncommon they get startled or think its play fight, of course there are expectations and some cats who ADORES belly rubs
