[...] Desperately Seeking Sanity says, “After reading More Than It Hurts You, I’ve been able to step back and look at my own parenting skills.  I spent the entire book going back and forth between HATING Dori and wanting to give her a HUGE hug.  That emotion could change as quickly as I could turn the page.  I could identify with the feelings that she had but I could never condone the thoughts that she carried out.  I was angry with her, I was sad for her.  And at the same time, I could feel for Josh and Darlene as well with their struggles, although I was never angry with them.  But it did make me stop and think if outsiders, looking in to my life, could also say the same thing?” [...]

You are so right. I had such complex feelings about Dori. It’s like I could almost relate to her, but yet, I couldn’t relate to her at all.

Loved it.

I enjoyed it, too. The complex characters and their intense motivations made the story all the more interesting.
