Query: Book is a codependence nightmare

Given to me as a gift, I heard many glowing reviews of this book and was told it would leave me weeping. Not only was I dry-eyed at the end, but this book left a bad taste in my mouth. A mothers love? Not quite...more like a mother-son example of co-dependence. The son comes across as a spoiled little brat that the mom "loves anyway." She rocks him to sleep even as he becomes an adult...very healthy. No matter what the author intended, this book is only a lesson in bad parenting. It makes me nervous that so many people liked this book so much.
