English Summary/英文概要： As your self-absorbed parent grows older and becomes more dependent on you, hurtful relationships may resurface and become further strained. In the tradition of Children of the Self-Absorbed, author Nina Brown offers the first book for adult children of aging narcissistic or self-absorbed parents. You will learn practical, powerful strategies for navigating the intense negative feelings that your parents can incite, as well as tips to protect your children from the criticism, blame, or hostility that may exist between you and their grandparent.
In this book, you will gain greater awareness of how and why your parent’s self-absorbed behaviors and attitudes get worse, and develop strategies to manage the negative feelings that can arise as a result. You’ll also learn to reduce the the shame and guilt that may be felt when you feel like you don’t want to be a caretaker. Finally, you’ll learn to set limits with your parent so you can stay sane during this difficult time.
Having an aging parent can be stressful enough, but dealing with an aging narcissistic or self-absorbed parent is especially challenging. This essential guide will help you through. Audio downloads are included.

This new text by Nina Brown makes clear the impact of self-absorbed parents and offers some useful techniques about what to do about them. Written in an easily accessible and commonsense tone, ["Children of the Aging Self-Absorbed" has] something to offer for those with relatively little background in psychology and human development theory, as well as those with considerable experience. Brown takes the reader through the basics of coping with a problem that is faced by a good deal of the early, middle, and later adult population. This text is a useful and practical review of the issues involved with parent-child dynamics in the adulthood years and provides some solid structure for describing, categorizing, and responding to these issues in an effective manner.
