Description

Mean Mothers: A Journey of Healing and Self-Discovery This book explores the complex and often painful relationship between mothers and daughters, shedding light on the darker side of maternal behavior. Drawing on scientific research, psychology, and personal stories, Mean Mothers reveals the multigenerational thread that can run through these stories, where unloving mothers are often the daughters of unloving or hypercritical women. Through unflinching and moving narratives, the author shares the personal stories of daughters who have struggled with difficult or impossible relationships with their mothers, as well as her own experiences. This book is not just for those who have had difficult relationships with their mothers, but also for anyone interested in understanding the complex influence mothers have over their female children. By exploring the myths of motherhood that prevent us from talking about these difficult subjects, Mean Mothers offers a narrative of hope and healing, showing how daughters can get past the legacy of hurt to become whole and loving mothers to the next generation.
