Summary of susan forward's toxic in-laws

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 When you get to a point of a serious commitment, you usually know a lot about your partner and their family, and you've either met or heard about them. But looking back now, with the dazzling clarity of hindsight, you can remember your first inkling that you were headed for in-law trouble. #2 We often wait months or years between the time we know we have in-law problems and the time we stop waiting for them to disappear on their own. We cling to a whole collection of reassuring platitudes about how to handle in-laws, but they are rooted in wishful thinking rather than reality. #3 There are many myths about how to deal with rejection and hostility. They help you feel better in the moment, but they don't help you see clearly or respond smartly when problems arise. #4 I will take you through an exploration of the most typical kinds of in-laws, from the critics to the controllers. I'll help you see into the workings of your partner's parents, and through them, you'll gain much of the clarity necessary to move toward change.
