Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.Sample Book Insights: #1 The mother myth is so strong that if your mother was unloving, you’ll inevitably run into a wall of resistance from external forces that defend her. You may be met with skepticism, sharp criticism, and counterproductive advice.#2 The pain of having an unloving mother is intensely lonely and isolating. It is common for even a well-meaning friend or relative to discount an unloved daughter’s pain or blame her when she looks for sympathy.#3 The great common denominator among women with unloving mothers is the desire for validation. They all want to find someone who will say, Yes, what you experienced really happened. Yes, your feelings are justified. I understand.#4 The grin and bear it approach to your mother’s behavior keeps the peace, but it’s a form of paralysis brought on by shame and fear. You fear the consequences of admitting your mother is unloving, and you can’t change that relationship, so you just have to live with it.
