Description:
Freud realized that most of our present troubles and anxieties originate in the home. The way you relate to your parents sets the pattern for all of the relationships in your life.
All too often we find that "Your past becomes your future." If we grew up with an alcoholic father, we marry an alcoholic, or become one ourselves. If we are abused, we marry an abuser, or become one ourselves. We marry a person, and realize one day that he or she is curiously like our father or mother. Why?
Roy Masters, father of five and grandfather of twelve, reveals with unique and penetrating insight the underlying dynamics of family relationships: how they affect us, how they lead to our current problems, and what we can do to become free from the past - so we are free to develop strong and honest relationships with our own children and parents.
"The process of becoming a real good parent is in itself a growing-up experience. As you correct your child, the naughty child in you is loved."
With such hard-hitting chapters as "Parental Injustice: The Cause of Violence," "Fathers: Forgive Them, For They Know Not What They Do," "What Kind Of Woman Marries a Wimp?" and "The Power of Emotionless Love," Masters offers a map of our past so we can find freedom and peace in the present. This is a book every parent should read.
