My DS has a wonderful girlfriend and we love her to bits.
However, she really is the Cinderella of her own family (except she only has one Ugly Sister, not 2!). She does so much, so willingly, for her parents and grandparents but NOTHING she does is right.
Her mother has openly admitted that she never wanted children, and my DSs girlfriend has never been allowed to forget that fact. She was not brought up in poverty (just the opposite) but emotionally so much has been lacking. However, she tries to remain upbeat.
She is quite overwhelmed by the love that is shown in our family to each other and, although she is now included in that, she still struggles with her understanding of her own family and the way they treat her.
Does anyone know of any books that I can get her that can help her understand and come to terms with how she has been brought up, please?
