I suggest:

Book Title: Codependent No More
Author: Melody Beattie
Why: It has helped me learn more about myself, my patterns/behaviour and how I can control how someone else's behaviour affects me.

Codependent No More: How to Stop Controlling Others and Start Caring for Yourself

I read this book out of curiosity and was taken by how much of it makes sense and I could identify with. You do not have to be a child of alcoholics or married to a substace abuser to relate to these stories.

There are controlling, manipulating folks out there which can affect ones life.

There is another book: Book Title: Healing the Shame That Binds You
Author: By John Bradshaw

I am reading now and it is also an excellent book on the subject. I have not finished reading it, but it has grabbed my attention so far.
