Parent Abuse
A form of family violence that may occur as often as spousal abuse, but is still a well-kept secret, is the abuse of parents by their adolescent children. This publication is an updated version of a 1996 report that used interviews and a literature survey to investigate parent abuse. It begins with a chapter that defines parent abuse and provides examples of forms of abuse, including physical, verbal, and financial abuse. It then profiles typical teenage abusers and the abused family, describes the effect of parent abuse on the family, and discusses several factors that have been identified as contributing to parent abuse. The final sections set out means for ending the abuse, regaining parental control, helping the abusive youth, and involving the wider community in addressing the problem.
Who's In Charge?
Who's in Charge?, written by Eddie Gallagher, is a book aimed at helping parents unravel the mysteries of violent and abusive children. For those who don't have difficult teenage children, this book will come as something of a thunderbolt as the misery that some parents and families endure is not well-documented or discussed. For those whose children are reasonably normal and average, this will come as something of a relief! Never again will you complain about sour faces, bad moods and bombsite bedrooms. Eddie Gallagher's main objective is to explore the facts and expose the taboo that surrounds the concept of children perpetrating violent acts upon their parents. However, Who's in Charge? c...
Difficult
A much-needed perspective on how to mother difficult adult children while balancing one’s own needs. Difficult brings to life the conflicts that arise for mothers who are confronted with the unexpected, burdensome, and even catastrophic dependencies of their adult children associated with mental illness, substance use, or chronic unemployment. Through real stories of mothers and their challenging adult children, this book offers relatable, provocative, and, at times, shocking illustrations of the excruciating maternal dilemma: Which takes precedence—the needs of the mother or of the distressed adult child? With guidance for finding social support, staying safe, engaging in self-care, and helping the adult child, Difficult is a compassionate resource for those living in a family situation which too many keep secret and allows readers to see that they are not alone.

This unique book draws on an international selection of contributors to identify, present and explore what we know about what works when supporting these families. Exploring conceptual and theoretical challenges produced by this emerging social problem: Part 1 discusses some well-established intervention approa...
