I’ve been recommending this to a number of friends who also have tumultuous relationships with their mothers. It’s been a big step in my healing!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Unfortunately, I am DNF'ing this at 50%. The information feels less than accessible from a reading point of view and is tedious to read. Additionally, there is a hyper-focus on one singular form of mother wound it feels- one that I personally have not experienced. This book is probably great for people whose mother's defaulted them to being their best friend and emotional sponge- however, there was not much for me to relate to in this. With that as well as the tediousness of the writing, I had to DNF. I may come back to this at a later time.
Also- this is nitpicky- I don't even know which book I'm supposed to be reviewing on Goodreads for this as there are several different ones with the same cover and a different cover.

This sounded really good as someone who is a people pleaser and wants to be a better mother but all the scenarios didn’t give many solutions. Although questions are provided at the end of each chapter, the majority of the time was just quotes that would make a good tweet. Plus the type of mother that many examples gave were narcissistic mothers, which I can’t relate to so the book just doesn’t feel relevant to me

В целом, книга-то не плохая. Людям, что недавно в психологии, она сможет открыть много инсайтов, но минус ее в том (и тут она не одна подобная), что в ней по факту заложена одна короткая мысль, длиной в пару страниц, которая повторяется из раза в раз другими словами на протяжении 300 страниц

Life changing read. A must-read for daughters of narcissistic mothers.

This book discusses the effects of the Mother Wound in great depth. At the end of each chapter are questions for reflection and I think that was my favorite part. This is a great step into the root cause of some of our struggles.
