Break Through When to Give In, How to Push Back: The Moment that Changes Everything

This book shows readers how to protect themselves from the controlling or irresponsible behaviors of others-spouses, parents, friends, or co-workers. Well, I guess he does have a good side."…"You know, it's probably my own fault." …"I need to cut him some slack, because he's had a rough life." It's easy to get stuck in painful, even destructive relationships caving-in to a spouse's addictions and consequent abuses, ignoring a live-at-home son's inconsiderate behavior, or putting up with a supervisor's manipulation or even harassment. We excuse them again and again, and then kick ourselves for not setting respectful boundaries. Break Throughhas a self-test to help readers get back in control; it is filled with useful tools that will help them make big changes in their life. It will show readers when to give in, but also when to push back for a happier, more stable life.
