When Parents Love Too Much: Freeing Parents and Children to Live Their Own Lives by Laurie Ashner
This book explores common problems of over-protection, guilt, low self-esteem and family conflicts that spring from excessive parental attachments. It is written for parents who can't let go and for children who can't get away. Using case studies the authors show how excessive parental love can cause all sorts of problems for adult children, and offer solutions and hope for those parents and children who need to "detach with love."
