When a parent singles out a child for special privileges and attention, that child is often unaware that the relationship is unhealthyeven incestuous. As adults, these children struggle to feel validated, because while they have not been directly abused, they feel a sense of violation and crossed boundariesusually done in the name of love and caring. The parents love feels more confining than freeing, more demanding than giving, more intrusive than nurturing. Yet these children suffer from what psychologist Kenneth Adams calls The Silent Seductionbecause there is nothing loving or caring about a close parentchild relationship that services the needs of the parent rather than the child.In this revised and updated 20th anniversary edition of his groundbreaking book Silently Seduced, Dr. Adams explains how feeling close, especially with the oppositesex parent, is not the source of comfort the image suggests, especially when that child is cheated out of a childhood by being a parents surrogate partner. He offers a framework to understand this covert incest and its effect on sexuality, intimacy, and relationships, and how victims can begin the process of recovery.

I was really looking forward to this book, but it didn’t quite hit the mark for me. The title suggests a certain angle that wasn't really explored; it felt more like a series of essays than a cohesive guide. I ended up feeling a bit lost. Maybe it’s more suited for academic readers than casual parents.

Thoughtful insight on parenting dynamics
I picked up 'When Parents Make Their Children Partners' after a friend recommended it, and I'm glad I did. The author's perspective on parenting is eye-opening and very relatable. I found myself reflecting on my own upbringing while reading, which is something I didn't expect to happen. Definitely a book to share with other parents!

Interesting, but could use more examples
This book offers a lot of food for thought about parent-child relationships. I appreciated the concepts discussed, but sometimes it felt a bit dry. I was hoping for more real-life stories to illustrate the points. It’s a good read if you're looking for something to ponder, but it didn’t fully engage me like I wanted.
