After being the family caretaker and sole provider for many years, much of this book hits home. It isn't just about "stop controlling others".... it's about breaking a cycle and learning to nurture oneself...it's about learning to say No to those that constantly take advantage of your giving, caretaking nature.... and it's full of lessons that you tell yourself "WOW, I didn't know I was doing it that way...". It truly opened my eyes to many harmful habits and emotional stress and harm related to codependency that has been a part of my family and personal relationships since I was a child.
