Two years has flown by. PDA in the Family is our story of living with Pathological Demand Avoidance. It wasn’t easy to write, but I’m glad I did it. I’ve received so many lovely messages during that time, from parents and educators who have found the book both helpful and validating. Thank you to everyone who has read it, and to those who have shared it with other people! Oh and if you’d like to leave us a review we’d be ever so grateful - thanks to those who already have 😊 | Steph's Two Girls
