"YOU COULD'VE SAID NO" is a collection of lessons in the art of survival. The phenomenon of adult children expecting unrealistic support from their parents is having serious repercussions on seniors. This book was born out of necessity because too many of us are succumbing to destructive requests. The fear of saying NO is a pathway to tragedy and pain. Many of our adult children feel justified in asking us for the unreasonable. Included are real life stories that clearly show the challenging requests we are faced with. The resultant disappointments and agonies are avoidable if we learn to say NO. The true stories of the men and women in this book are poignant. If Madge had said NO, she would be alive today. If Gloria had said NO, her husband would NOT have been able to betray her. If Liz had said NO, she would NOT be penniless. The lessons in this book will be lifesaving in many of the situations you face in life. The benefits of loving and protecting yourself from selfish requests result in self-confidence, pride, and most importantly, safety. It may be difficult to say NO to someone we love, but NO is the key to embracing your strengths. SELF LOVING DECISIONS ENHANCE YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE and this book is your insurance that each decision reflects your infinite self-protective power.
