The first mother-daughter book for mothers, featuring a new Afterword
and a Reading Group Discussion Guide
, Do you long for a better relationship with your daughter?
, Do you occasionally feel as though you have failed as a mother?
, Do you blame yourself because your relationship with your daughter is
strained, faltering,
or nonexistent?
, Do you feel that the relationship is unchangeable and that there is no
chance that it could
become a nurturing and deeply satisfying friendship?
Dr. Charney Herst knows that there is always more than one side to a
story, and in her book, For Mothers of Difficult Daughters, she uses her
twenty-five years of experience as counselor and group therapist to
provide mothers with solutions that work. In the book she first helps
you understand your particular relationship with your grown
daughter--untangling the complex web of personal history and intense
emotion inherent in any mother-daughter relationship. Then she describes
practical, successful, mother-tested steps you can take to repair this
all-important bond.
