Mother Hunger: How Adult Daughters Can Understand and Heal from Lost Nurturance, Protection, and Guidance by Kelly McDaniel
3.0
•*~~3 stars to any therapy book where the author isn’t giving pretty much all their money to initiatives for people who can’t afford the therapeutic treatments they suggest ~~*•
This book connected a couple more things to my attachment issues specifically to my mother so if you have issues with your mom I’d suggest it.
I appreciated the science behind attachment. It went into a depth between mother and baby that I hadn’t read about before. The author touched on patriarchy (which would be better described as colonial beliefs anyway) and the way women participate in it, and I really appreciate that, but I always will critique and say how you should’ve mentioned specifically how you’re talking about *white* women, and how whiteness affects whites womenhood. You could literally just replace it when she used the word patriarchy. She even used a metaphor that was invented by the civil rights movement and switched it to patriarchy instead.
I will try the things that were suggested that I have access to but 60% of it reeked of rich people shit.
