Beschreibung

Drawn from research and the real-life experiences of adult daughters, Mean Mothers illuminates one of the last cultural taboos: what happens when a woman does not or cannot love her own daughter. Peg Streep, co-author of the highly acclaimed Girl in the Mirror, has subtitled this important, eye-opening exploration of the darker side of maternal behavior, “Overcoming the Legacy of Hurt.” There are no psychopathic child abusers in Mean Mothers. Instead, this essential volume focuses on the more subtle forms of psychological damage inflicted by mothers on their unappreciated daughters—and offers help and support to those women who were forced to suffer a parent’s cruelty and neglect.

How does this legacy of hurt manifest in the life of an adult daughter, and what are the first steps toward healing and reclaiming your sense of self?

  • The Myth of Mother Love: Explore why the cultural taboo against criticizing mothers keeps so many adult daughters silent and trapped in self-blame.
  • Intergenerational Patterns: Understand how unloving behaviors are passed down from grandmother to mother to daughter through the lens of attachment theory, creating a painful “legacy of hurt.”
  • Narcissistic and Unloving Mothers: Identify the subtle but powerful patterns of emotional abuse, from constant criticism and jealousy to control and a complete lack of empathy.
  • The Role of Fathers and Siblings: See how other family members can become heroes or coconspirators, and why you might have been singled out among your siblings.
  • Stilling the Mother Voice Within: Learn actionable strategies to overcome the deeply ingrained self-doubt and reclaim your self-worth, finally breaking the cycle for yourself and future generations.
