This book is your all-in-one guide for dealing with toxic family members and how to break away. I love how the author explains in detail what a toxic person is and how they can negatively impact your life, as many people don’t realize this and treat it as normal. I have a much better understanding of this from my listening.

I found the chapter on how to walk away very helpful, as the author recognises that many people will be reluctant and find it hard, as they are leaving a family member that they think they are obliged to stay with it. The instruction and advice have reassured me that it is ok to walk away and will benefit me much more in the long run.

I received great value from the advice on dealing with the aftermath, as I find this the most difficult with breaking away. You can tell the author fully sympathizes’, and understands how difficult this is, and she gives you all you need to deal with it and live your best life. Overall great book!
