Great article; it scratches at the surface of a complex topic deep enough for readers to appreciate the complexity without being overwhelmed, hunger for more broad and depth of info, while also providing an intuitive set of actionable steps to experiment with while learning.

I realize that she loves her fiance and I really have tried to get along with him. I really feel that my daughter loves me but is abusive towards me. She now is pregnant with her third child a little girl, due in two months. I am at a loss in knowing which way to turn. It is constant turmoil with her step dad of fourteen years.
