You are so right!

Quote From: anon_slc

There are birth families that are so destructive that the only option is for a person to get out.  Get out with the little bit of sanity you may have remaining.   

  

Some of my favorite books which provide a great introduction into the subject of family systems and dysfunctions are:    

   

Why is it Always About You?  The Seven Deadly Sins of Narcissism by Sandy Hotchkiss  

  

Emotional Blackmail:  When the People in Your Life Use Fear, Obligation and Guilt to Manipulate You by Susan Forward  

  

Surviving a Borderline Parent:  How to Heal Your Childhood Wounds & Build Trust, Boundaries and Self-Esteem by Kimberlee Roth and Freda Friedman OR Understanding the Borderline Mother Helping Her Children Transcend the Intense, Unpredictable and Volatile Relationship by Christine Ann Lawson  

  

As painful as it may be, make a promise to yourself to leave so that you can begin a life of healing and recovery so you can eventually learn to live a joyful and peaceful life.   

  

Thank you for those great books!
