Toxic Parents: Overcoming Their Hurtful Legacy and Reclaiming Your Life by Susan Forward

Why Does he DO That: Inside The Minds of Angry and Controlling Men by Lundy Bancroft

Cannot recommend WDHDT highly enough. I’ve found it helpful not just for romantic relationships, but also for growing up w a ā€œunexplainable/uncontrollableā€ dad.

IT HAS ALSO BEEN REALLY HELPFUL FOR UNDERSTANDING ONLINE MOB HARASSMENT.

So if you’ve ever been bombarded w threats to be raped/killed, (so…if you’re a minority and you’ve been on the Internet for a while), this book might be useful for getting clarity around the whole entitled, abusive mindset that drives certain kinds of people to behave that way. And by ā€œgetting clarityā€, I mean (for me) being able to go ā€œoh, that’s what’s happeningā€ and not really feel scared anymore. Or angry, or drawn out into it, or anything.

And if you’re still standing around going ā€œbut how does something like GamerGate happen?ā€ or ā€œbut why do men hit their wives?ā€ or whatever – please read that book and learn something.

^^^^ truth WDHDT is fantastic at cutting down MRA bullshit and calling it what it really is

Also recommending

Please consider reading these. WDHDT is really, really helpful. And I know some of you are struggling with abusive relationships, friendships, families, etc. You’re not alone. There is help.

Yo. This family holiday, please, please take care of yourself. You aren’t there to be anybody else’s cushion.

Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents

Reading any of these books does not mean you don’t love your parents or family. Ā It’s just self care for helping you cope and not repeat the behaviors.Ā 

A gentle reminder that I have Toxic Parents as a FREE PDF if you would like to download it and read it on your own.Ā Take care of yourselves.

All the books in this thread are great; adding this one because it was the most helpful to me. Free pdf here

toxic parents is the book i checked out from the library last january that REALLY SINCERELY helped kickstart my road to recovery. even if you are not a victim of abuse, they are invaluable reasources, but help pass them around so people who have been abused can have access to material that actually, genuinely, sees them and provides them with concrete help

WHAT DO WE WANT?

PROFESSIONALLY FILMED STAGE MUSICALS!!

WHERE DO WE WANT IT?

ON NETFLIX!!

HOW DO WE WANT THEM?

WITH SUBTITLES!!

#why is musical theater so inaccessible

WHY WOULD WE WANT THEM ON NETFLIX

WHEN THEY’VE ALREADY AT LEAST STARTED DOING THAT ON PBS

(The PBS Passport thing’s price is dependent on your local station but is around $5/month. | And there are… still pretty few plays on it. | Also Indecent is… not really a musical. But it’s a stage play, that has the cast doing live music, and it’s the BEGINNINGS of INFRASTRUCTURE.)
