The Daughter Detox Question & Answer Book: A GPS for Navigating Your Way Out of a Toxic Childhood Paperback – May 31, 2019

I'm so grateful for Peg Streep's work. Even as someone in her late 50s who's done decades of healing, therapy, study, and tough decisions, there's always another step in the healing process. Crucial to that process is self-awareness - painful though it may be, and Streep helps with that. And part of the up-hill battle of having had a cruel mother is how programmed we - and society - are to resist that truth. Streep's work helps me see layers in which such denial still has a residual effect in me. But more than that, her work also helps me celebrate and affirm the hard work I've done to move my life and my son's life into a much healthier place. And that is something to celebrate, as Streep understands. The Q-and-A format of this particular book makes for a quick, targeted read - you can easily find topics that feel most relevant to where you are right now.

And, as the outcast in my family, I am NOT the BAD guy for calling "foul!". This is not a prescription for how to heal all your wounds. It IS a roadmap so you can know what caused your woundedness and, therefore, you can heal it to become whole and healthy in your relations and relating skills with yourself and with others. Highly recommended if you are willing to dive into the questions that pertain to you AND write to reveal YOUR story about it. You really can't heal what you don't know is broken.

I bought this Q&A book to assist with my journey of recovery. I had previously purchased the "Daughter Detox" book. I have gained much insight as a result of reading and reflecting. If this is new for you, you may need to take this process slowly. There is also a FB page. This is the type of workbook that you will highlight, mark in red, and go back to again.

If you have any questions or concerns about the ‘mother / daughter relationship read this book. Peg Streep writes books for daughters who were abused, unloved or suffered at the hands of the mother in her life. Whether you are 20 - 80 and are trying to make sense of your past with a toxic mother consider reading Peg Streep’s work.

I loved this book. After decades of therapy, all the puzzle pieces now fit together. A must read for us daughters that were neglected, unloved, or abused. I suspect that this happens at a high rate for us adoptees too. ❤️❤️❤️
