This honest, insightful book unlocks the keys to getting past destructive patterns and creating successful mother/daughter relationships
A woman's relationship with her mother is often the most complex, volatile one of her life. It's also one of the most important, as it affects all aspects of her life, from career and health to marriage and parenting. In Denise McGregor's timely book, she draws on her own experiences, as well as the experiences of other women, to understand why there is so much criticism and dissatisfaction in mother/daughter relationships. Laced with humor and emotion, Mama Drama includes: "Try This" exercises and suggestions for handling conflicts and avoiding pitfalls; interviews with women sharing how they resolved mama drama; the six beliefs that will shift a woman's perception of her mother; and a discussion for creating a new emotional legacy with one's mother and children; and much more.
McGregor shows women how to create a new healthy, satisfying relationship rather than trying to fix a bad relationship or change their mother. Every woman will be able to relate to the practical, concrete advice.
