You can survive the "kitchen wars"--and live in peace with your family

"My sisters-in-law couldn't stand me. I was really hurt when my kids weren't mentioned in their grandmother's obituary because they weren't 'full-blooded' family."

"My mom is always giving advice, always telling me to do such and such when she doesn't do it herself. If my husband and I have a fight, she takes his side "

"My sister did call me a week later to apologize but proceeded to tell me everything that was wrong with me, my husband, and my children."

Sound familiar? There's nothing new or unusual about conflict between mothers, sisters, and other female family members--but that doesn't make it any less painful or destructive. Adding to the hurt of relational abuse within the family is the permanent nature of the relationship: you can sever relations with an abusive friend, but you can't stop being the sister/daughter/niece of an abusive relative. Does that mean that there's no way out?

In Forced to Be Family, you'll discover how to determine whether a female family member is being abusive, recognize the sources of that abuse, and break the vicious cycle that keeps the abuse alive. You don't have to choose between accepting abuse and "making a scene." This insightful, reassuring guide gives you the strategies and understanding you need to reestablish warm and loving relationships with the women who will always be closest to you.

Great value bath set
Style: Gray
This bath set is a great value. Yes, they are plastic but the gray color is nice and the metallic features add something. With coordinating shower curtain and towels, they look good. Has all the different pieces you would want. They are also very functional. The pieces easily assemble and the trash can lid and pump on the soap dispenser work well. (I've purchased much more expensive soap dispensers that didn't work well at all.) For the low price, this coordinated bath set is great.

Bathroom accessories

It also came with a trash can and toilet bowl cleaner. All of this was good for the price, you won’t get in the store. If you take care of it will last longer…hence it’s for the bathroom. It came as described and in good shape. Can order again in the future.
