April 13, 2009: I read the First Edition and it helped considerably in dealing with my Narcisstic Mother. I was going to by a copy for my sister and found this Second Edition,instead. I decided to keep this copy and send my first edition to my sister. She had updated it from questions that readers from her first book had and talked about subjects that weren't mentioned in the first edition. This book has helped me understand more about who I am and why I am this way. I know my mother will never change, but the book has helped me see that the way I was treated as a child and as a adult by her has affected every aspect of my life. The book gives alot of great ideas and suggestions to help cope with the narcisstic parent, as well as, lets you know that you should not feet guilty in severing any contact with that parent. I highly recommend this book if you have a Narcisstic Parent!
