Some of the stories in Stop Walking on Eggshells really make you understand how difficult it can be to raise children with DBP. From her own loving heart and from richly revealing interviews with parents and adult children, Jane Isay has fashioned a wonderfully wise and constructive intergenerational guide. Read it and learn!” One interesting aspect of the book is the authors' discussion about the four stages family members often go through in making sense of it all. We have seen this happen many times here at BPDFamily.com: Help the BP put together a support team so you don’t feel overburdened and exhausted.

And also, the number of times the author used the phrase "refused to have an abortion" when describing problems between a parent and their adult child is deeply disturbing.

With Isay’s sage advice, we can make life with our adult children calmer, closer and more enjoyable. This is a great read for every parent who has ever, in discussing their adult children, used the phrase ‘walking on eggshells.’”
