I read the book twice and found it to have some valuable insights into the no-contact movement.
I greatly appreciate the author sharing some insights on her personal experiences and her take on the no-contact epidemic that is taking over America, alienating adult children from their loving mothers.

She is not a mental health practitioner or holds the credentials typically associated with a therapist. Instead, she is a voice of real-life experience, something I found far superior to this subject matter.

She in no way endorses a parent to go no contact with their children, unless it is necessary for mental health. I greatly respect how she gave personal insight into how she did this with her middle son, of whom she depicts as abusive. The author provided feedback on the positives, which has helped her understand what is happening in the no-contact movement.

I also agree with her opinion of how pop therapists and social media have influenced younger generations to go " no contact."

I recommend this book for anyone seeking to learn the parents' perspective on no contact and her suggestions on how to reclaim your life and find joy again.

Downside: The book is too short, but the author hosts numerous podcasts that can supplement the book. She's very engaging and doesn't suffer fools. She will also provide valuable feedback on the subject of persons of color and estrangement, a topic that is both enlightening.

I am not to target audience of this book. This book is about relationships with your adult children. Mine are still very small. For me it was a cautionary tale against broken families as that always seems to be a prerequisite for strained or non-existent relationships with adult children. If you are in such a situation, this book may be very validating for you. The information in this book can be applied with all relationships. The important point is to not let toxic people ruin your life or mental health. It's not worth trying to hold onto that relationship. Even if they are your own child according to the premise of this book.

I'll begin by saying, I was not the target audience for this book. As a reader with an estranged sibling, it did give me some insight into the estrangement movement taking over. Though it isn't much, the author does use colorful language if feel is unnecessary. I would also say there is some repetitiveness to it as well. I, personally, want to rely on resources that are biblically grounded and this was not one.

Gave me peace and made me feel like I am not alone.

This was spot on and I recommend any parent who is experiencing parental alienation to read this book. Parental alienation and parental emotional abuse is not talked about enough. This has given me some clarity and has helped me as I am going through my healing journey.

So needed and so relatable!

This book said what was afraid and reluctant to say out loud. It’s a great read and a great resource to go back and remind yourself of some truths that we as moms tend to forget. We are enough and it’s okay to be happy without them 😌

It was a good book with lots of good information. Being in Al Anon I already acquired this information, so it was not new to me. For anyone not in Al Anon, it would serve them well to read this book!

[Chelsea Reinartz · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book is toxic af and allows parents to shift blame to their children and avoid accountability for their own actions.
