A Son Is A Son Till He Gets A Wife: How Toxic Daughters-in-law Destroy Families [EPUB]
E-Book Overview
I know this is a curious title, and people who have never experienced the rejection of a son at his wife's behest won't understand it. But those who have been through this experience--whose sons have married and turned against them as if they were dirt after all the years of love and care the parents gave them-will rejoice at finding this book and knowing they aren't alone. Actually, the desertion of parents by married sons is not uncommon. Would that it were! Almost every psychologist or counselor with whom I have talked knows of several instances in which it has happened. They speak of the great sorrow and agitation of the parents, mother and father alike, who can't understand why a child has turned against them. ANNE KATHRYN KILLINGER has been a concert pianist, a college professor, a Parisian model, and the wife of a widely known clergyman. She has lived in Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Nashville, Birmingham, Paris, and Oxford, and now resides near Washington, DC. She is also the author of An Inner Journey to Christmas and An Inner Journey to Easter, as well as the novels, Pendleton Farm and Rachel Remembers.
1.0 out of 5 stars The book title should read: How the Magic Vagina Ruined my Relationship with my Baaaaaby (aka son)

Format: Paperback
Ahhhh the pedestal some people put themselves on...
According to the author her son is being controlled by his wife's magic vagina. There is so much narcissism spread across the pages of this book its incredible that she cannot read her book and see it herself. But I guess that is what narcissism does...
The author needs to realize you have children, raise them to be functioning adults, and when they become adults, as much as you still believe they are your baaaaabies, the relationship should and does change. Had this been a healthy change in the relationship, she would still have her son in her life. She may have a nice relationship with her daughter-in-law. But it really sounds like the author just can't cut the cord and expects to still be raising her son even though he is already a grown man.
When your child becomes an adult, you are still his/her mother, BUT you are now no longer an authority figure. Some people cannot give up their role as authority figure and think they are the matriarch and patriarch and all their children and grandchildren are under their rule. This is wrong.
According to the author, it just CANNOT be anything about her that caused this turn in her son's attitude--it MUST be his wife's magic vagina!!
