From the Publisher
Synopsis:
A 15-year-old South Carolina girl endured being chained to her mother 24 hours a day for a month as a court-ordered punishment for skipping school. Many adults would consider that cruel and unusual punishment. However, clinical psychologists Henry Cloud and John Townsend have found that pinpointing and resolving conflicts with one’s mother are crucial to a healthy, adult life. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Format:Paperback
Written with much compassion. It is not a mom-bashing book. If a reader is looking for someone to blame for his/her life, this is not the book to read. Writers are insightful in how our moms' interactions with us have influenced us and shaped how we view ourselves and relate with others. The writers explain that our moms continue to influence us, well into our adulthood, whether or not we continue to have contact with them. The writers are careful to explain that our fears and hopes have their origins in our relationships with our moms. Most importantly, the writers give guidelines, based on practical and Biblical concepts, to healthier living despite extended dysfunctional relationships with our moms. The writers are realistic about the difficulties their readers may face with such challenge. They exhibit empathy in their certainty that self-awareness and healthy living could be ultimately achieved.

This book gave me the motivation and the ability to move past childhood problems and focus on the here and now. My mother and I have been able to slowly create a new friendship versus complaining about our previous relationship. I am truly appreciative to the authors.
