From A Press Release Book Description "Tough, honest, and to the point about how to take responsibility for your life and your kids, no matter what the damage, destruction and dysfunction in your own upbringing." -- Dr. Laura THE TURNAROUND MOM: How an Abuse and Addiction Survivor Stopped the Toxic Cycle for her Children -- and How You Can Too by Carey Sipp is a compelling guide for adults who grew up with addiction and abuse -- and now want to do everything possible to break the cycle in their own families. Think of it as a "re-parenting" guide, filled with real, honest techniques for redirecting the toxic tornado associated with addiction. According to Sipp, "Americans must break their collective addiction to what she calls toxic intensity, "the mother of all addictions" and "raise ourselves before we can raise our children." Part courageous memoir, part serenity guide for parents, and part inspirational humor. THE TURNAROUND MOM offers: Gripping vignettes from Sipp's abusive childhood followed by inspiring glimpses into her family life in recovery, showing how the tips she shares at the end of each chapter helped motivate healthy change, such as great self-care and friend/family support systems, and how to recognize and avoid toxic people. Inspiring ideas for nurturing quiet, non-intense time with one's family, as well as how to survive, with greater grace and humor, the times that are inherently stressful. Ways to establish and maintain strong boundaries, forgive and heal relationships, and honor what it means to be a mother. If you grew up in a dysfunctional, abusive, or addictive home, you are intimately familiar with violence, uncertainty, and suppressing your feelings. You may well believe yourself to be clueless about how to create a sane, structured, and serene home for your own family. Now with THE TURNAROUND MOM to guide you, you'll learn it's never too late to start creating the kind of family life you wish you'd had growing up.
