Perhaps you have been touched by this issue yourself, you may even be guilty of it yourself. After reading this book, I think we all could use a gut check. Think you know what it is….let’s see
If you are still puzzled, don’t worry by the end of chapter one, you won’t be. Dr. Townsend makes everything crystal clear. Check out the list below and see if any of these sound familiar.
Have you ever experienced this?
- Someone who says, I deserve “XYZ”, even though they haven’t done anything
- You give someone a gift, do something nice & wonder what happened to “Thank You”
- You have a child who EXPECTS $200 sneakers or an expensive phone on your dime?
- The person who thinks everything is “everyone else’s fault”?
- The person who expects everyone else to pick up the slack?
- The spouse who won’t take responsibility for their part in any problem & they feel like you should be happy to have someone like them in your life.
- The person who blames you for spoiling them & expects you to keep doing it, even when it is no longer practical?
- You are out shopping. You ask the clerk for help, they make you feel like you are bothering them even though you want to make a purchase?
Sound familiar??? This is a book you want to read and share.
