Too Close for Comfort: Coping With a Dependent Loved One

You love someone who struggles. So you show up. You adjust. You cancel plans, absorb the anxiety, and quietly reorganize your life to keep things steady. You tell yourself this is what love looks like. But somewhere along the way, caring became carrying - and you can't remember when the line disappeared. Too Close for Comfort is for the people standing next to the crisis. The partners, parents, adult children, and friends who have spent years giving everything they have to someone who cannot seem to hold themselves together. Dr. Tamir Aldad, a board-certified psychiatrist and CEO of Mindful Care, one of the nation's leading mental health urgent care networks, offers a clear and compassionate framework for understanding what is actually happening in these relationships - and what to do about it. This is not a book about leaving. It is a book about learning to care without losing yourself.
