Book Description
Hello, I'm Amelie Andry, and this is my story. I have survived a mother who says she cares but is so cold it's almost impossible to believe she actually does and a father who is vulgar and extremely inappropriate. I have also endured bullying, false accusations, manipulation, suicide attempts, and immoral acts.I am a sarcastic and blunt person, so be prepared to roll your eyes, laugh, and possibly cry. Be prepared to be surprised and appalled. Most of all, be prepared to hear a blunt presentation of someone who has persevered through determination, acceptance, and hard-learned lessons.My story is about overcoming anything and everything life can throw at you, and it is not pretty; however, it is enlightening. It is my perspective of the mistakes that school systems, psychiatrists, and parents can make. If you are a person who relates to my story, maybe it will show you the mistakes not to make. Hopefully, this book will open eyes and possibly initiate changes in your life or in the way you address people with psychiatric issues. You never know what someone has gone or is going through. My hope is, after reading this, you will be more open-minded, accepting, and forgiving of people who are different and don't fit into society's box. My biggest goal in writing this is to help people. If this book helps one person, then it was worth reliving all I have gone through while writing this over the last two years.

Book Description
In this timely, insightful, and darkly funny investigation, the acclaimed author of Against Love asks: what does living in dystopic times do to our ability to love each other and the world? COVID-19 has produced new taxonomies of love, intimacy, and vulnerability. Will its cultural afterlife be as lasting as that of HIV, which reshaped consciousness about sex and love even after AIDS itself had been beaten back by medical science? Will COVID end up making us more relationally conservative, as some think HIV did within gay culture? Will it send us fleeing into emotional silos or coupled cocoons, despite the fact that, pre-COVID, domestic coupledom had been steadily losing fans? Just as COVID revealed our nation to itself, so did it hold a mirror up to our relationships. In Love in the Time of Contagion, Laura Kipnis weaves (often hilariously) her own (ambivalent) coupled lockdown experiences together with those of others and sets them against a larger backdrop: the politics of the virus, economic disparities, changing gender relations, and the ongoing institutional crack-ups prompted by #MeToo and Black Lives Matter, mapping their effects on the everyday routines and occasional solaces of love and sex.

Book Description
You've forgiven a thousand times. You've bent over backwards to make your partner feel loved and accepted. But the only reward for your loyalty has been anger, indifference, infidelity, or abuse. Your spouse may even be ready to walk out the door. Do you feel like all is lost? Are you ready to give up? There IS still hope. Dr. James Dobson's “tough love” principles have proven to be uniquely valuable and effective. Unlike most approaches to marriage crisis, the strategy in this groundbreaking classic does not require the willing cooperation of both spouses. Love Must Be Tough offers the guidance that gives you the best chance of rekindling romance, renewing your relationship, and drawing your partner back into your arms.

Book Description
Loving and grieving are two sides of the same coin: we cannot have one without risking the other. Only by understanding the nature and pattern of loving can we begin to understand the problems of grieving. Conversely, the loss of a loved person can teach us much about the nature of love. Love and Loss, the result of a lifetime's work, has important implications for the study of attachment and bereavement. In this volume, Colin Murray Parkes reports his innovative research that enables us to bring together knowledge of childhood attachments and problems of bereavement, resulting in a new way of thinking about love, bereavement and other losses. Areas covered include: patterns of attachment and grief loss of a parent, child or spouse in adult life social isolation and support. The book concludes by looking at disorders of attachment and considering bereavement in terms of its implications on love, loss, and change in a wider context. Illuminating the structure and focus of thinking about love and loss, this book sheds light on a wide range of psychological issues. It will be essential reading for professionals working with bereavement, as well as graduate students of psychology, psychiatry, and sociology.
