This book didn't show me much that I didn't already know, but regardless I thought it was a solid read that is accessible and clearly outlines both emotional immaturity in parents and how to cultivate your own positive relationships!! It's funny that my parent fit the descriptions in this book so perfectly, and I feel validated.

This book was extremely helpful for me. It helped me understand why my parents are the way they are, why I think and act the way I do, and what a healthy relationship looks like. I am truly grateful I listened to this book (I listened to the audiobook).
5/5 = As close to perfect as possible

this book was incredibly hard to read, but incredibly useful in coping with emotionally immature parents. 1000000% recommend for those who think their parents may be emotionally immature, no matter to what degree.
