What do you do when someone you love is destroying his or her life-- and your relationship?We all have a friend, relative, or loved one who makes choices we don t understand. The more advice we give them, the more they stubbornly stay the same. So what are we doing wrong? Why have our relationships become so difficult? Why do our loved ones resist our help, even though we are sure that we know what s best for them?Confusion and hurt and anger prevent us from seeing the truth:Nothing changes until we change.Relationship expert Auriela McCarthy s life-changing new book tells us We must lose the battle of being right to win the war of being happy. With compassion and rare clarity of insight, McCarthy tells the stories of ordinary people who have reached their breaking points: a woman married to an alcoholic who will not stop drinking, a mother facing an impossible choice, a woman dying of cancer seeking to forgive her cheating husband, a son who must open his heart to forgiveness. The people in these stories hit rock bottom before they learn to stop struggling that they can t change other people s behaviors, but only their own. This creates extraordinary changes in their lives. These are stories of human triumph, but their triumph is not of will, but of surrender.
