In the hopes that you may see this, thank you SO much for what you have done for so many people through your work - I think you might have saved my life, in many ways. The way you managed to describe my childhood and early adulthood (until recently finally going no contact with my mum) without ever having met me is crazy to me. The pain I feel (finally) confronting the abuse I experienced (and being isolated from any other family capable of witnessing the abuse and preventing it / caring for me) is almost intolerable at times. But I am working my way through things and your book has served as a symbol of hope that I can (and WILL) overcome this and that I am not crazy, despite all of the triangulation and gaslighting I have been a victim of for my entire life. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, sir. I wish you all the very best.

Thank you for your dedicated work, Dr. Adams. I read your book years ago. I am immensely glad that I randomly found it on Amazon Prime. I wish you had it in print when I was 18 years old, sitting in my University counselor's office as she told me about the triangulation that was persistent in my family. I have recommended it many times for people to read when they mention dysfunctional family dynamics that sound to me like enmeshment. It's validating for you to call enmeshment as "reversed what it should be," where the parent shows the child that the child has to be there to take care of the parent, not the other way around.

The 50+ year old daughter of my husband of 11 years was responsible for the emeshment. I called it meddling...calling 3 times a day, questioning what I did for him (wasn't good enough), taking over activities & giving him assigmnments. She would say, "I am going to take care of my daddy." It seems to be a twist of the mother emeshed to the son. But still I understand it now.
