Thank Your Wicked Parents has at its core a shocking but undeniable truth:
Some parents are wicked and repeatedly lash their helpless children with abuse
and humiliation. Other parents, while not intentionally malicious, nevertheless fail
to provide their family with the loving kindness that they need and deserve. But the
author also offers a positive message: While uncaring, cruel parents cannot change
the long history of their abuse, grown-up children should not only let the misery
of the past go, but also learn from the lessons that their parents unintentionally
taught them through their actions. In other words, the pain of the past can be
transformed into blessings.
A unique book, Thank Your Wicked Parents is intended to offend abusive parents
and, more important, to provide their adult children with a new perspective on the
past and a path to a far brighter future.

This book is about finding the blessing in the deep wounds that parents, knowingly and unknowingly, inflict on their children. It is heart-wrenching, because I know how very relevant it is to way too many people. I can imagine giving these little books out by the carton to kids in homeless shelters across the country...and to their parents, who are probably acting out the violence perpetrated on them.

It is not terribly deep, as were Bach's other books like Jonathan Livingston Seagull, One, or Illusions, but it shines light into a dark place that sorely needs it. While it is a sad reminder that we are an imperfect species, it also celebrates our capacity for rising above adversity and turning it into fuel for love and creativity. “Thank Your Wicked Parents” is a virtual hug to hurting humanity, reminding those who need it that we control our perceptions and choices, and that our tormentors can be our greatest teachers. It is also a good reminder to all of us how unthinking behavior can inflict wounds that last a lifetime.
