The mother – daughter bond is even more powerful than we thought.

The relationship that a girl shares with her mother can affect her sense of self esteem, self worth, sense of identity and her ability to make friends.

Children who are encouraged and praised, healthy praise. By their parents grow up to be confident individuals. If a child is not appreciated by her parents, she may seek validation from others.

When a girl is in her teenage years, she usually looks up to her mother. Her mother is her role model and she wishes to be like her. She gets her perfect image of a woman from her mother. But the relationship between a mother and daughter can go through many ups and downs. Many things can derail the relationship between mother and daughter. Temperaments, personality, experiences, hormones can all affect their relationship.

Healing the mother wound is a balance between acknowledging negative feelings such as anger and resentments and recognising that we may need to forgive our mother.

Express the pain
Love yourself
Develop self awareness
Parent yourself
Forgiveness

It would be convenient and easy if we could blame all our faults and failures on our mothers. But it wouldn’t be truthful and that’s because we all have a choice.

We can choose to take the steps to heal our own mother wound and make sure it’s not passed on. It’s a challenging journey but it’s the beginning of empowerment. 🌸🌸🌸
