“This book will, I'm certain, help salvage many lives and restore homes to peace and sanity, with its basic message: ‘You've got to raise yourself before you can raise your children.'”
--George H. Gallup, Jr., chairman, The George H. Gallup International Institute
“ The TurnAround Mom is a model of recovery that creates the potential to end generational cycles of addiction.”
-- Claudia Black, Ph.D . , author of It Will Never Happen to Me
“Everyone, including therapists, should read this down-to-earth book. It deepened my recovery, and I believe will touch your heart.”
-- John Lee, M.A. , author of Flying Boy and Growing Yourself Back Up
A brave, tormented mother stands up and says, “History will not repeat itself . . .”
If you grew up in a dysfunctional, abusive, or addictive home, you are intimately familiar with violence, uncertainty, and suppressing your feelings. What you may not know, though, is how to create a sane, structured, and serene home for your own family when you never experienced these things yourself. Now you can.
Part courageous memoir, part influential how-to guide, The TurnAround Mom offers the tools you need to end the legacy of toxicity. With chilling vignettes from author Carey Sipp's own abusive past, plus the tips and techniques she used to turn her life--and thus the lives of her children--around, this stirring story will be the daily touchstone that you and your family deserve.

This is exactly what I needed. I've always tried to "break the cycle" even before I had kids, but here is a guide that is really helping. This is not preachy or self righteous. This author's tone is very much a tone of, "This is what I was doing. Here's what I'm doing now."
