Despite all her best efforts to break the cycle of catastrophic, destructive patterns of mental illness, Anna Berry found herself at the end of her rope - unemployed, penniless, homeless, and in the throes of a psychotic episode that threatened to destroy her life. Alone and unwell, she manages to find her grip on life, seeks the help she needs, and embarks on a life and career that illustrate that mental illness does not have to be ruinous.

Self-aggrandizing and judgmental of others.
Revisado: 10-14-21
I find this self-aggrandizing and judgmental of others. I don’t see it as being helpful to others. I don’t know why anyone would would write such a book speaking of her family, whom she ‘loves’, in such a negative way other than to make herself look better.
I would not recommend this book to anyone.
I chose the book based on synopsis, reviews, sample and my experience of and interest in mental health - which has been nothing as she describes.

Drew me in early on. Several viewpoints that interact with great skill. Surprising occurrences throughout including the ending. Excited to see what happens yet didn’t want to finish it.
I often have difficulty with the English accent but didn’t with this narrator. Her interpretation added to the enjoyment of the book.

But It’s Your Family is a remarkable account of what it means to cut ties to toxic family abuse and thrive in the aftermath. Loving someone doesn’t always mean having a relationship with them, just like forgiveness doesn’t always mean reconciliation. Reconciling, in many cases, only sets people up for more abuse. A significant part of healing comes with accepting that this is a part of life; there are some relationships that are so poisonous that they destroy one’s ability to be healthy and function best.

Disappointed and concerned.
Revisado: 02-24-21
I was drawn to this book because of my belief that sometimes there are people in our lives with whom it is not healthy for us to have a continued relationship. I anticipated hearing about some of these situations and how to resolve them in a way that was not detrimental to any of the people involved. This was not the case. I completed the book hoping that at some point there would be a shift in attitude, which never occurred.
Dr. Campbell mentioned a book that she had written prior to this one in which she acknowledged that even though she felt abused growing up she was aware that her parents had done the best they could at the time. I regret that I have been unable to locate this book.
Dr. Campbell appeared to become angry and disillusioned when her family didn’t respond to her first book in the way she expected. After I completed the book it is clear to me that the woman writing it is still in pain, angry, resentful and seeking to hurt those who who hurt her until she believes that they have hurt to the extent they hurt her. I believe that the drama with which the book was read intensified that feeling.
It saddens me that, in spite of her successes, she continues to carry this heavy burden - which she vehemently denies. (Denial). I am concerned for those she counsels that they will learn more about revenge than compassion and unconditional love. May all be happy and well.
