McIlvain spent her youth plagiarizing great poets and writers until she finally figured out how to use her own words. People who know McIlvain well would tell you that her humor is dry, but her advice is solid. Years of living with psychopaths taught her how to spot them and what to do when they want to interfere. She's lived with 12 roommates, a solid 25% of them diagnosable and another 25% boundary-impaired. (The rest were lovely.) Living with difficult people and having to create some sane space for herself within an insane system has given McIlvain a keen eye for solutions within limited parameters. If you're struggling with a crazy roommate, a boundary-impaired in-law, or a sibling with running commentary on your weight, McIlvain can help.view less
