Summary: An Author, reviews Coping With Your Difficult Older Parent
Comment: An Author's Critique of "Coping With Your Difficult Older Parent: A Guide For Stressed Out Children
As a fellow writer, I want to complement the authors on their insight. I did deal with some of these problems in my own book, "Dancing in the Dark: Things My Mother Never Told Me," but my intention was to write it, I am not educated enough to help solve the problem or understand it. " A Guide for Stressed Out Children etc" did that for me. I highly recommend it. There will
come a time in everyone's life, I'm afraid, when it will be
needed. I intend to buy this book and give it to my daughter in
case she needs it for dealing with me. I am 73-year-old woman, racing rapidly toward being a feisty old lady. I will never
knowingly cause my daughter, my only child, the grief I had with my mother and my in-laws, but sometimes it cannot be helped in the case of Dementia or worse. Some of the characters could have been members of my family. My mother-in-law used to say, when we traveled, "Do you know what you are doing to me?" Everyone with older parents should own this book.

Summary: The best of the bunch
Comment: I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I've read the gamut of parent self-help books and found this one to be the most uplifting and practical. I deal with a difficult 86 year old, narcissistic mother who has had many recent illnesses and crises. Barbara and Grace's book gave me the insight and advice needed for me to get past my anger and confusion and start setting limits for my mother while providing her support. It helped me enormously. After reading the book, I also found myself needing care management services for my mom. I'm lucky to be living in the Washington, DC area and was able to use the author's care management services when my mother had emergency surgery and needed 24 hour home help. Barbara is as wonderfully empathetic in person as she is in her book. She helped in both understanding and helping me manage my mother as my mother moved through her latest crisis. I don't think I couldn't managed easily without her help.
Rating: 3
Summary: Compassionate - Insightful
Comment: Using real-life examples, the authors address compassionately many of the real-time problems caregivers face. You might find your parent and help for your problem in their stories.
While I am not in favor of their pop-psychology (labeling people)approach that leads people to think of themselves as diagnosticians, I do find valuable insights in this book.
