| making peace with your parents: The Girl in the Red Boots Judith Ruskay Rabinor, PhD, 2021-05-04 Can a mother be both loving and selfish? Caring and thoughtless? Deceitful and devoted? These are the questions that fuel psychologist Dr. Judy Rabinor’s quest to understand her ambivalence toward her mother. While leading a seminar exploring the importance of the mother-daughter relationship, Dr. Judy Rabinor, an eating disorder expert, is blindsided by a memory of a childhood trauma. Realizing how this buried trauma has resonated through her life, she sets off to heal herself. The Girl in the Red Boots weaves together tales from Rabinor’s psychotherapy practice and her life, helping readers understand how painful childhood experiences can linger and leave emotional scars. In the process, Rabinor traces her own journey becoming a wounded healer and ultimately making peace with her mother, and herself. Not a traditional self-help book outlining “steps” to reconcile or forgive one’s mother, The Girl in the Red Boots is a poignant memoir filled with hard-won life lessons, including the fact that it’s never too late to let go of hurts and disappointments and develop compassion for yourself—and even for your mother. |

| making peace with your parents: How to Be Richer, Smarter, and Better-Looking Than Your Parents Zac Bissonnette, 2012-04-24 Striking out on your own for the first time is exhilarating. But in a culture full of bad advice, predatory banks, and splurge-now-pay-later temptations, it can also be extremely dangerous—leading you to make financial decisions that could hurt you for years to come. Combine this with a slumped economy, mounds of student loans, and dubious examples from reality TV stars to politicians to your own parents, and it’s no wonder so many twenty-somethings are struggling. Twenty-three-year-old Zac Bissonnette—the author of Debt-Free U—knows exactly what you’re going through. He demystifies the many traps young people fall victim to in their post-college years. He offers fresh insights on everything from job hunting to buying a car to saving for retirement that will give you a foundation for a secure, stable, and happy life. In the process, he reveals why FICO scores are overrated, online job applications are a waste of time, car loans are for suckers, and credit card rewards are a scam. With detours to discuss wine connoisseurs, Really Broke Housewives, and Lenny Dykstra, Zac shows you how to make better choices today so you can be richer, smarter (and better-looking!) for years to come. |

| making peace with your parents: Understanding the Borderline Mother Christine Ann Lawson, 2002 The first love in our lives is our mother. Recognizing her face, her voice, the meaning of her moods, and her facial expressions is crucial to survival. Dr. Christine Ann Lawson vividly describes how mothers who suffer from borderline personality disorder produce children who may flounder in life even as adults, futilely struggling to reach the safety of a parental harbor, unable to recognize that their borderline parent lacks a pier, or even a discernible shore. Four character profiles describe different symptom clusters that include the waif mother, the hermit mother, the queen mother, and the witch. Children of borderlines are at risk for developing this complex and devastating personality disorder themselves. Dr. Lawson's recommendations for prevention include empathic understanding of the borderline mother and early intervention with her children to ground them in reality and counteract the often dangerous effects of living with a make-believe mother. Some readers may recognize their mothers as well as themselves in this book. They will also find specific suggestions for creating healthier relationships. Addressing the adult children of borderlines and the therapists who work with them, Dr. Lawson shows how to care for the waif without rescuing her, to attend to the hermit without feeding her fear, to love the queen without becoming her subject, and to live with the witch without becoming her victim.

| making peace with your parents: Make Peace with Your Parents! Bertold Ulsamer, 2020-08-11 This book takes you on an intense personal journey that will lead you deeper into yourself and closer to the connections with your parents. You do not need the involvement of your parents to do this. Yes, father or mother may even have passed away already. The result of the journey: more inner peace, more self-confidence, more strength and more joy of life. And actual encounters with parents become more relaxed and friendly.Would you like to improve your relationship with your parents? Maybe you feel an inner distance, maybe you have withdrawn from them a bit or have completely broken off contact. Perhaps you are also angry or hurt and never want to have anything to do with them again. If this is the case, the first step is important for you: you do not have to forgive your parents in order to come to peace with them. You have a right to your reproaches. But all further steps will help you to find new perspectives. Reconciliation then sometimes falls into your lap as a fruit that has ripened by itself. It is worth it! The relationship with father and mother shapes one's own life and has a deep influence on the success of one's own partnership, on the relationship with one's own children and the satisfaction with one's own life.In my more than 25 years of work on reconciliation between children and parents, 7 steps have emerged which are useful to come to peace with the parents in depth. In addition, I talk about further blockades which come from the family system and which sometimes have to be dissolved. These steps and other important insights are conveyed practically in this book. You will experience the essence of my seminars and will be specifically instructed to take important steps inwardly. |

| making peace with your parents: Silent Sons Robert Ackerman, 2008-06-30 It could be you or someone you love. Strong, silent types are everywhere, and it is their telltale silence that has kept their problems hidden until now. A silent son can come from a family that coped with violence, alcoholism, child abuse, extreme rigidity, or divorce, but all silent sons have certain common characteristics: They keep things that bother them to themselves. They deny that unpleasant events occur. They fear letting people know them. They have difficulty interacting with their parents, spouses, or children. They have a strong fear of criticism. They are often angry. In Silent Sons, Dr. Robert Ackerman, a silent son himself, examines the problems that commonly confront silent sons, keeping them from experiencing the full range of human emotions. In a compassionate and hopeful voice, the author defines the silent son and examines the impact of parents, particularly fathers, on these men and shows how their dysfunctional upbringing affects their present relationships, especially with women. By putting aside anger, finding peace with one's self, and looking for support from other silent sons, Dr. Ackerman feels every man can realize his full potential and become a well balanced, healthy survivor. |
