Life changing. I highly recommend. I want to immediately re-read it. I was surprised with this being such an old book (1985) that it was so on point with issues women face that cause us anger, and the ineffective ways that we typically try and deal with those triggers that just do not work. The author is very validating, while simultaneously challenging readers to examine and take responsibility for their own role in patterns that cause them anger and how to change those patterns. Recommend to anyone with relationships that cause them stress, anger, or frustration with spouse, parents, in-laws, etc.

I don’t agree with everything here (I don’t think we should always seek improve relationships with all family members) but I paused and took notes and texted thoughts to friends often enough to give this 4.5 stars.

I especially liked the thoughts on women’s tenancy to over function for others, causing resentment and bitterness and anger for themselves.

Recommend to anyone who is tired of being angry over the same things in your relationships.

It’s not the person, it’s the pattern that’s the problem.

I found this to be another very helpful book by Harriet Lerner. It’s an easy read with all the various case studies she includes, and there’s a lot to be taken away for reflection. This book provides thoughtful suggestions and stories to help alter and strengthen all kinds of relationships. I wish I had read this years ago!
