Toxic Love

Recognizing Abuse, Setting Boundaries, and Reclaiming Peace from Adult Children at Home

When your home no longer feels safe, and your adult child is the cause of your emotional exhaustion, it’s time to face a difficult truth: Love should not hurt.

This groundbreaking guide offers compassionate, practical advice for parents who are experiencing emotional abuse, manipulation, or toxic behavior from their adult children.

Whether your child is controlling, entitled, gaslighting you, or refusing to take responsibility for their actions, this book helps you reclaim your peace without guilt, shame, or fear.

You are not alone — and you are not a bad parent for setting boundaries.

Inside this powerful resource, you’ll learn how to:

✔ Recognize the signs of emotional abuse and toxic family dynamics
✔ Understand the difference between helping and enabling
✔ Set and enforce healthy boundaries — even when it feels impossible
✔ Manage guilt, grief, and fear of estrangement
✔ Protect your mental health and rediscover your self-worth
✔ Reclaim your home, your time, and your emotional peace

Written with empathy, clarity, and lived experience, When Love Turns Toxic gives you the tools to break free from manipulation, codependency, and emotional chaos. You’ll find guidance on confronting brutal truths, starting honest conversations, and taking steps that honor your well-being — not just your child’s comfort.

Don’t forget to check out the Guided Journal created for When Love Turns Toxic.

You have permission to protect yourself. You are allowed to say “enough.” And you are worthy of peace, even if your child never changes.
