Overview:

In Forced to Be Family, Cheryl Dellasega takes a close look at how women in families relate to and transgress against each other. Drawing on hundreds of stories from interviews, correspondence, and survey groups, Dellasega examines the dynamics of relational aggression among family members (Relative RA) and helps you overcome this heartbreaking situation and peacefully coexist with women who will always be close to you. To help you understand and cope with the most difficult aspects of Relative RA, this guide is built around six insights into female relationships within families: Women form intense and complex bonds with their female relatives. Women expect more from - and forgive more of - family members than friends. The permanence of family gives Relative RA a special power. Relationships with in-laws operate under a different set of assumptions than those with blood relations. Even the most vicious abuser can still feel great affection toward her victims and be unaware of her cruelty. Even the most difficult family relationships can be navigated using basic strategies to empower you and others. NOTE: This is a Scratch and Dent version and accordingly MAY NOT have a dust jacket.
