Through the entirety of this book, I went back and forth between "hogwash" and "insightful" or "interesting" and "wow!" Families definitely affect relationships and this book goes into great depth on the various ways they do. They also speak about self-differentiation vs. fusion (which was the largest takeaway for me) and anxiety being the root of many of our issues (not sure I believe that). Overall a good read.

This book was good.  I can't say it any simpler.  I enjoyed reading it and feel a little closer to the man whose music I admire.

My relationships were broken,kids wife extended family because I could and would not face the  reality telling the truth. Reading this I found a connection and a possibility to turn it all around.  I lead now from inside my family with a map. I challenge all who see this act now as your life will never be the same, as mine has improved so shall yours. Thank you GJW .

I really liked the fact that the family aspect is included in his book. Especially the spouse point of view.

Read the book and right off the bat I could relate with the author. Had some real funny and dreaded conversation and could relate to a few first hand. Would recommend this book for a good insight on what and how to prepare for that conversation. Its a  good read enjoyed it a lot. Thank you Donna

Insightful in how dysfunctional relationships develop and the consequence of such. I think any one with siblings will find something to relate to. I Cannot speak to the accuracy of the diffulties of ethnic influence, but certainly it makes you think. I enjoyed the book which I listened to on audio but at times was a little slow. A few unrealistic scenarios you can overlook for the big picture.

I really enjoyed reading from the male perspective , the importance of the female focus in a relationship to the males focus was enlightening. The importance of events to the couple in ther own way and emotions it ignighted was worth the wait.

I was in the midst of a big emotional upset over the "loss" of our oldest son to marriage. He had lived on and off with us until he was in his mid-thirties. He was my friend. We were always very close, he enjoyed long conversations and we shared the same sense of humor. I thought I was prepared for him getting married, but shortly found out I was far from it. Suddenly, he didn't need me anymore, and when we did talk it was not like we use to. I missed the old days. Ms. Liberman, was very sensitive to both sides, mother-in-law, son, daughter-in-law and also the reverse; daughter and son-in-law, and discussed some of the myths and explained how I could create a new relationship with my son and see his marriage as a positive thing in our family, not the negative. It was easy for me to take to heart her advice and she qualified it by sharing her own personal relationships with being a daughter-in-law and having a daughter-in-law. It's a quick read, and an excellent resource to return to. I have read it many times, and when I start to get upset about something, I go get it and read. I chose it after reading excellent reviews here on Amazon.

A very good book I have learnt a lot about my self and marriage.... Its a shame that my now ex wife tobe won't read it or take notes. I suggest that if you are having matromonial issues read the book as it could save your marriage or help you move on as friends................

CM Hutton has really impressed me. I've never heard of him before but my friend suggest that I read it. Glad I listened to her, though. I wish I read this when my ex and I were going out, lol. We probably would have still been together...

I Liked it because it inter-related the grieving process with attachment to others. The other topic of dealing with someone close who is a daredevil was also addressed well. The author dealt with emotions and feelings of  characters in a east to follow narrative.

I have just completed this book. As someone with a fair amount of, what I consider  mother induced baggage I found that the book helped me to revisit some of the issues I have had with my own mother. In my marriage I have reacted in ways that did not fit the situations I confronted. After discussions with my wife I have tried to track my inappropriate feelings. This book has helped me to better understand both the strengths and weaknesses  in my own mother.
