Thank you Jane for writing this book! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helpful insight to personality disorders *by M***S on September 4, 2025* Arrived promptly and pleased with my purchase. Reliable seller! Thanks! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Happy with Purchase *by M***Y on May 2, 2012* I ordered the book on March 31 and received it on April 6, so it arrived in a timely fashion. The book appeared to be brand new from the outside. The dust cover showed no wear and the book felt new. A week or so after receiving the book I finally opened it to read it and discovered green highlighting throughout the book. The highlighting is obviously on passages that spoke to the previous reader, but kind of takes away from the statement that the book was 'new'. Am I upset? No, some of the passages that are highlighted speak to me too. Would I have bought the book if I had known there was highlighting in it beforehand? No, because I wouldn't have known the extent of the highlighting. So I am giving it 4 stars, but I'm not unhappy with the purchase. Responding to the contents of the book: This book is about having a positive relationship with your grown children - say 25 years and older, possibly out of college and living on their own, but possibly still living with you. Jane Isay has compiled a number of stories to illustrate different ways parents of children have coped with their children growing up and 'distancing' themselves from their roots to gain autonomy. It could speak to you as being the 'grown child' if your parents are still living or as being the 'parent' of grown children. For parents who are new to this experience, it is a painful ripping apart of your soul as you try to navigate staying in touch with your children without allowing yourself to be their doormat and disrespected beyond all reason. Hurt feelings, miscommunications, misunderstood motives abound. I'm a fourth of the way through the book. At the end of the chapters the author has summarized the points she is making. So far they are uplifting like her comment that she was surprised to find it just takes little changes to improve the relationship with grown children. (This was one of the green highlighted parts of my book.) The stories illustrate examples of 'little changes.' It's a reasonable read and positive. I was referred to the book by a client of mine who has recognized him and his wife in some of the stories and that is helping them make 'little changes' to have a better relationship with their grown child who lives in another country - the ultimate in distancing. ## Frequently Bought Together - Walking on Eggshells: Navigating the Delicate Relationship Between Adult Children and Parents - Stop Walking on Eggshells: Taking Your Life Back When Someone You Care About Has Borderline Personality Disorder - I Hate You--Don't Leave Me: Third Edition: Understanding the Borderline Personality --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/6493266-walking-on-eggshells-navigating-the-delicate-relationship-between-adult-children](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/6493266-walking-on-eggshells-navigating-the-delicate-relationship-between-adult-children) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
