“Why My Inner Child Cries” reveals the hidden truths behind our parents’ controlling or neglectful behaviors – and how we can finally free ourselves and our own children from the anxiety, depression and anger that their dysfunction may have caused.

Imagine a world free of war, hatred, and racism, where every child grows up with self-respect, joy, and the hope for a better life.

Why My Inner Child Cries: Breaking the Cycle of Adult Anger, Anxiety and Depression Due to Parental Abuse explores the subtle, hidden weaknesses of parenting and explains why most human dysfunction can be laid at the feet of parents, mothers and fathers who often mean well but cannot resist their unconscious urges to control, manipulate, and neglect their sons and daughters, based on the emotional suffering they themselves experienced as children.

This domino effect of a crippling parent/child relationship has, century after century, been the number one reason for mankind's inability to truly blossom.

In Why My Inner Child Cries, the author seeks to stop the bleeding, drawing on his personal experiences with his own family and the hundreds of patients he has counseled over the years. Exploring the roots of hate beyond simple role modeling, he examines the rage that a child suppresses against intimidating parents, only to have it visited on others later in life. Tracing adult anxiety and depression to a parent's failure to validate a child's dreams, he reveals how this act of making a child feel "less than" is unconsciously calculated to achieve the control the parent themselves never had as a child.

For parents, and for the "grown-up children" still suffering years later from the pain of being emotionally battered, neglected, or controlled by the adults in their lives, this book is a genuine eye-opener. It offers the opportunity not only to break free from crippling emotional pain, but to break the cycle of pain for one's own children and every child within reach.
