Mother-in-Law. A Survival Guide

Does your mother-in-law poison your life? Feel like you’re standing on a minefield where every word can cause an explosion? Then put the sedatives aside and pick up this book!

Psychologist Vera Tarasova will take you by the hand and lead you through the darkest corners of your mother-in-law’s soul so you can understand what’s really going on. Where do these “monster mother-in-laws” come from? Is it from childhood, from unrealized dreams—or is she simply a born villain?

Together, you’ll sort everything out: who are “mama’s boys,” how co-dependence forms, and why your mother-in-law is so desperately trying to destroy your marriage.

But most importantly, in the pages of the book you’ll find real stories of people who faced similar problems, along with practical advice: how to protect yourself, how to set boundaries, how to talk to your husband, and how to get back to a normal life.

This book will help you solve the following problems:
• Restore a healthy hierarchy in the family.
• Break co-dependent relationships with a toxic mother-in-law.
• Learn to withstand competition among women and manipulation.
• Recognize and neutralize the methods of a narcissistic and psychopathic mother-in-law.
