Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents
Lindsay Gibson is a clinical psychologist, and this book is about growing up with parents who struggled to meet their children's emotional needs. What I appreciate is that she's far more interested in understanding than in blame.
You, Your Husband and His Mother
Dalgleish looks at how expectations from a spouse's family can create tension inside a marriage, and how couples can work together when family obligations leave one partner feeling unheard. A good one to read while holiday plans are still taking shape.
