Seduced: When Parents Make Their Children Partners: Understanding
Covert Incest

When a parent's love for a child is more expecting than giving, more

Identification of this problem is often difficult, for the victim
often feels idealized and privileged rather than abused. Dr. Adams
provides a framework for beginning a process of recovery.
