I had a terribly strict and restrained childhood, and after reading this, though I have never thought of it this way, I think you are right, mothers can be described as bullies. When you loved boarding school so much, as I did, seeing it as an escape, and the thought of going home at the end of term was depressing, that might be an indication! Great to be able to turn thjngs around though as you did! Bdst of luck with the book!
I needed this. My eldest son is 15, and I have struggled with this his entire life, becoming a mother at 17. I look forward to your book, and making changes for myself, my children and my life. Thank you for sharing your story and helping others to change theirs…
Hi Melissa, will you forward the email to me so I can have my publisher look into this? [email protected]. When did you pre-order the book (approx)? Most everyone I know has said they either got their book today from Amazon or it has shipped. The Kindle version was delivered to people without a hitch. I sure hope we can get yours to you!
I don’t have children however I am in healthcare and do have multiple clients. I plan on purchasing your book and applying it to my own life and the way I go about and express myself to all people in my life.

Good to learn this early, before they are grown.

I pre-ordered the book but got an email saying it will be 2-3 weeks to get it now vs. delivery today via Amazon. Did it not release?
