My mom brought this book to me when she realized I was about to go nuts because of my mother-in-law. I was literally leaving my house just so I wouldn't have to see her. After reading this book I was able to set my boundaries with her, I am able to tell this woman that this is my house and my rules. Although, she doesn't like my new positive ways, according to me it doesn't matter because the truth of the matter is. This is my house, my husband, my kids, and above all my rules. I would really recommend this book to anyone having problems with dealing with hard (bullies) people.
