Writer Melody Beattie’s Codependent FORGET ABOUT spent an amazing 3 years on theNew York Times best-seller list and made ‘codependent’ children word. With this thoughtful sequel, she offers further helpful advice for making long term, positive changes in lifestyle. Alcoholism, drug abuse and very similar destructive methods can render families dysfunctional. When the children of these family members become adults, they occasionally develop self-defeating survival tactics, such as low self-esteem or an obsession with managing another person’s behavior. To help those stuck in codependent cycles determine and remove such troubling problems from their relationships, Beattie shares knowledge gained from years of knowledge. Beyond Codependency can be a sensitive and supportive reserve that encourages listeners to look at a practical approach when confronting their very own harmful and unproductive manners. As she did with the initial, narrator Christina Moore lends her reassuring voice to this essential book. ‘[An] stimulating sequel to Beattie’s groundbreaking publication for the dynamics of codependency.’-Publishers Weekly
