What Do You Want from Me?: Learning to Get Along with In-Laws

by TerriApter (Author)

Synopsis

When we marry, we believe the bond is between only two individuals. Few of us realize the power that in-laws exert over our lives. What Do You Want from Me? takes a fresh look at how the in-laws we acquire when we marry affect our quality of life-our marriage, family, personal comfort, and long-term well-being-for better or worse. Here is an essential book for husbands and wives, parents and children, seeking to strengthen the bonds of family.

Media Reviews
A keenly perceptive interpretation of the kinship structures, `fracture lines,' and recurrent emotions-resentment, ambivalence, acceptance-that are part and parcel of the in-law experience. -- The Atlantic
With professional grace, Apter exposes the emotional minefields that couples often navigate around in-laws, and the ease with which they become stuck in negative (and familiar) attitudes toward them. -- Publishers Weekly
