Book re demise of difficult parent

[Deathraystare]

Hi everyone. I have often read posts on here about difficult parents. My Godson had one. She died this morning. I know from posts it can be a very difficult time with the child feeling guilt. I have warned his wife that this may be the case.

Are there any helpful books out there which will be helpful for him? Preferably UK

TIA

? Anyone?

Wow that was helpful. Never mind I will look elsewhere....

Goodness me. Give people time to reply!

I wouldn’t be giving him a book about difficult parents at this time. He may see it as someone else criticising his mother who has just died. Once he has had time to process that she has died and IF he talks about her short coming then give a book but certainty not now.

Thank you for your reply. I guess I will leave it for now. He is my Godson and did have a difficult relationship with her. She was violent , very very angry but could also be very nice! She was also my friend .

I was just concerned he may have mixed feelings and be rather guilty about it. Mumsnet is full of people who have gone through that when a parent dies. I guess all I can do is be a listening ear.
