Informative and educationally important for those struggling with co dependent tendencies. However, did not address the difficulties where adult children violate most boundaries and what to do with estrangement s necessary when safety also is a profound issue with physical abuse and or covert narcissism behaviors by adult children. Overall, good book with deficits in the most important relationships with adult children especially when raised by good parent targeted by co parent from Parent Alienation Syndrome as a child by narcissism in the non custodial parent or in a marriage. It seemed bit over simplified, however did address excellent skills for recovery of co dependent traits and empowering with skills. Narrative was satisfactory and comprehensive.
