Quotes by Lucinda Berry  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Children of trauma are experts at triangulation.” “Triangulation?” I asked. “The child will act a certain way with one parent and a different way with the other parent. They try all kinds of things to drive a wedge in the parents’ relationship.”
Lucinda Berry, The Perfect Child

“We fear what we don’t understand, so it’s easier to think of them as monsters. It makes us feel safe rather than having to think about the possibility that some people are just born that way, and it could be any of us or someone we love.”
Lucinda Berry, Saving Noah

“I wished I were as optimistic as I pretended. I used to be. Not anymore.”
Lucinda Berry, The Perfect Child
