From Susan Forward, Ph.D., the New York Times bestselling author of Toxic Parents and Men Who Hate Women and the Women Who Love Them, comes a practical and powerful book that will help couples cope with terrible and toxic in-laws.

Susan Forward draws on real-life voices and stories of both women and men struggling to free themselves from the frustrating, hurtful, and infuriating relationships with their toxic in-laws.

She offers highly effective communication and behavioral techniques for getting through to partners who won't or can't stand up to their parents.

Next, she lays out accessible and practical ways to reclaim your marriage from your in-laws. She shows you what to say, what to do, and what limits to set.

If you follow these strategies, you may not turn toxic in-laws into the in-laws of your dreams, but you will find some peace in your relationship with them.

Toxic in-laws are in-laws who create genuine chaos through various assaults aggressive or subtle on you and your marriage.

Toxic in-laws come in a wide variety of guises:

The Critics, who tell you what you're doing wrong;
The Controllers, who try to run you and your partner's life;
The Engulfers, who make incessant demands on your time;
The Masters of Chaos, who drain you and your partner with their problems; and
The Rejecters, who let you know they don't want you as part of their family.

This book was amazing. I read and then shared chapters relevant to our situation with my husband. It is life changing.

Before this book he was oblivious to why he behaved the way he did with his parents and didn't see anything wrong with the unhealthy dynamic.

His parents fall under the category of Controllers. There is an entire chapter on each type of toxic inlaw. My husband was able to realize the control they were having on our family and the negative effects.

Once he had this self awareness he was able to implement necessary changes without getting trapped in the feelings of guilt or being manipulated by their typical tactics (which were discussed in this book).
