As I listened to this podcast, it reminded me of my own mom/daughter relationships. I haven’t had the kind of relationship I’d love to have with my mom ~ever. As a result, I’m sure I overcompensated and put my hopes into an “ideal” relationship with my daughter. That hasn’t worked out so well either. I’m 58 years old and still trying to figure out life/me! I hope reading this book will help. Really enjoyed the podcast. ??
What a wonderful podcast as I find ways to “love differently” with my wayward daughter. Thank you for having Blythe and Helen on your podcast. Such sweet ladies!
