Summary

But It’s Your Family is a remarkable account of what it means to cut ties to toxic family abuse and thrive in the aftermath.

Loving someone doesn’t always mean having a relationship with them, just like forgiveness doesn’t always mean reconciliation. Reconciling, in many cases, only sets people up for more abuse. A significant part of healing comes with accepting that this is a part of life; there are some relationships that are so poisonous that they destroy one’s ability to be healthy and function best. Dr. Sherrie Campbell clarifies how parents, adult children, siblings, grandparents, and in-laws can be toxic while giving direction on how to explain cutting ties to children and others who may not understand. When listeners are able to bring closure to those toxic relationships, they give themselves the space to love those family members from a distance, as fellow human beings, with the knowledge that it is unwise to remain connected. In But It’s Your Family, listeners learn how to love themselves in the process and fundamentally change their lives for the better.

I had to stop listening during the first chapter sadly

…the narrative felt toxic. Finger pointing. All the things the narrative associated with toxic people. To label people toxic rather than their behaviour Or characteristics I don’t think is helpful. We are all flawed. Maybe I should listen to more (maybe I’ll go back to it) but it felt pretty unforgiving with no room for empathy …which I know is perhaps what we don’t want to hear, but for me the blame on the other person was too much. Not helpful. And not healing. At least not for me.

Perfect Companion to Toxic Parents

Very good. Good to know that you are not the only person to experience this scenario. Perfect to read if you have Toxic Parents by Susan Forward.

An interesting perception on toxic parents

From an estranged mother who has acknowledged her flaws and is learning to attempt to put things right and relate to adult children this was interesting to hear from the voices of others. I think it would have been better if there had been some parent’s experiences as well and solutions of how to meet half way and develop healthier parent and adult child relationships.

Initially resistant but a powerful book

I was initially resistant to this book, a recommendation from my therapist. The title is so loaded and it’s not what I wanted however I did resonate a lot with Dr Sherrie’s story. If you’re dealing with any of these issues or going through this painful process it’s important to hold yourself accountable too. If you’ve been honest without being brutal and clearly asked “What’s wrong and how can we fix the problems between us?” (but keep hitting a brick wall) then this book is a helpful tool in setting and navigating difficult boundaries.
