Book Description
Why does talk in families so often go in circles, leaving us tied up in knots? In this illuminating book, Deborah Tannen, the linguist and and bestselling author of You Just Don't Understand and many other books, reveals why talking to family members is so often painful and problematic even when we're all adults. Searching for signs of acceptance and belonging, we find signs of disapproval and rejection. Why do the seeds of family love so often yield a harvest of criticism and judgment? In I Only Say This Because I Love You, Tannen shows how important it is, in family talk, to learn to separate word meanings, or messages, from heart meanings, or metamessages —unstated but powerful meanings that come from the history of our relationships and the way things are said. Presenting real conversations from people's lives, Tannen reveals what is actually going on in family talk, including how family conversations must balance the longing for connection with the desire for control, as we struggle to be close without giving up our freedom. This eye-opening book explains why grown women so often feel criticized by their mothers; and why mothers feel they can't open their mouths around their grown daughters; why growing up male or female, or as an older or younger sibling, results in different experiences of family that persist throughout our lives; and much, much more. By helping us to understand and redefine family talk, Tannen provides the tools to improve relationships with family members of every age.

Book Description
For five months, my husband, Clyde Slappey, battled a formidable enemy, primary amyloidosis, a disease that initially we didn't know how to spell or pronounce. Clyde and I traveled the country and visited many doctors and hospitals. We desperately tried to find someone who would help Clyde found a cure. Even though many doctors gave up on Clyde, we kept searching for a cure and never gave up. We didn't accept NO for an answer. And on February 14, 1995, through God's infinite wisdom and grace, we made it to the Mayo Clinic, Clyde's place of hope. During our travels, we discovered that primary amyloidosis is a very rare disease of the immune system that affects roughly eight out of a million people annually. We also learned that the disease affects all people from all ethnic origins, colors, creeds, and national origins. But the disease had taken its toll on Clyde's body. He had begun to grow weaker and weaker as he waited 57 days for a heart transplant. The wait was too much for Clyde to bear, and on April 12, 1995, he blacked out for the final time. I Feel Okay is filled with love, despair, perseverance, and faith. Clyde's attitude of never, ever willing to give up, has inspired many people to reach beyond their boundaries to find answers. Even though many of Clyde's doctors had given up on him, we kept going and continued to search for a cure for his amyloid disease. It took me nine years to write down the accounts of Clyde's story in I Feel Okay. I thought about it and wanted to tell his story so many times through the years, but it was just too painful. My prayer is that many others will be inspired by Clyde's story to educate themselves about the disease and to never give up. This is my hope and I know it would have been Clyde's hope as well.
