Summary
mother-daughter estrangement, toxic mothers, narcissistic mothers, childhood trauma
Are you in a difficult relationship with your mother? Mother-daughter estrangement has long been seen as a taboo topic. We've been raised to believe that estranging from family, especially from our mothers, is never the intended path. Society has often painted mothers as inherently good and kind. Yet, for those facing abandonment, judgment, abuse, trauma, or narcissism from their mothers, accepting such behavior is never acceptable. My guest this week is Licensed Mental Health Therapist Khara Croswaite Brindle, author of Understanding Ruptured Mother-Daughter Relationships In this episode Khara will be answering all your questions on this important yet sensitive topic. Join us as we delve into types of estrangement, the cycles of estrangement and why we shouldn't expect or tolerate abusive behavior from anyone, including our mothers.
