Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

We Were Fine until Dinner explores the hidden emotional lives of families, including the roles we inherit, the wounds we carry, how we manage those wounds, and the silent patterns that shape who we become long after childhood ends.Behind every "normal" family are invisible scripts: the responsible child, the peacemaker, the golden child, the scapegoat, the invisible one, and many more. We learn these roles early, often without realizing they were never truly ours.In this book, therapist Evgenia Videnmaier-Zink reveals how childhood emotional neglect, the mother wound, sibling rivalry, guilt, anxiety, emotional abuse, cultural displacement, and generational trauma continue to influence our relationships, our self-worth, and our inner lives.This book is for you if you have ever wondered why you:People-please even when it leaves you exhaustedOver-function in your family, friendships, or relationshipsStruggle to set boundaries without feeling guiltyFeel responsible for everyone else's emotionsRepeat patterns you promised yourself you would breakFeel like your family still affects you, even nowThrough real-life therapy stories, compassionate psychological insight, and practical reflections on healing, We Were Fine until Dinner offers the missing answers.It will help you recognize unhealthy family patterns, understand the roots of emotional pain, break generational cycles, and discover that healing begins the moment you stop performing the role your family wrote for you and start living as yourself.If you are ready to understand where your patterns began and begin choosing differently, this book is a gentle place to start.
