Books on the subject??

Posted on 08/19/09, 08:30 pm

Hello to all my new friends here...
Does anyone have any suggestions on any good books on the subject of Mother Daughter relationships , abusive Mothers? How about leaving the past behind, self-love and healing the wounds of childhood?
I am an avid reader ..

BTW..Where is everyone???

Hugs to you all...

  Will I Ever Be Good Enough by Karyl McBride is awesome. Some of it is on Google Books so you should take a look. www.nevergoodenough.com is the main website and there is also a message board there if you are looking for more support.
  
  I have never read it, but I also heard that Children of the Self-Absorbed is a good one too.

  Thank you !

For those of us whose mothers were (or still are) abusive to us. In a society that puts mothers on a pedestal it can often be lonely dealing with the feelings of hurt, betrayal, anger, emptiness and grief of having an abusive mother. People with loving mothers often find it hard to believe or understand. Here is a safe place to express the feelings and find others with similar experiences and support each other.
