О том, что необходимо проговаривать многие вещи себе, супругу, детям. О том, в конце концов, что прежде чем решиться рожать, надо хорошо подумать. Я довольна! Оторваться было сложно, хотя отгадка всей этой истории с Лидией довольно рано стала ясна.

    The story is able to lastly learn how to raise the children without favouritism, be assertive, but not to be put upon. I shouted here, as additonal to be a pro with that people identitybis always in process, represented, and addressed in cultural system. And it connecting with the history which play a critical role in social movements. Therefore, people cannot speak for very long in assumption of differences without acknowledging others.

    This book told me about a family issues that might happend in toxic relationship. James' family is not a healthy family, it described by the title on this book.

    I think this book is meaningful. It has deep moral value about family. Love it.
