Mother-daughter relationships are not always sugar and spice, and many daughters are not trying to be their mother's best friend. As they get older, they find that they just don't like their mothers, and that for a good reason, because mothers tend to be control freaks not to mention dismissive. Mothers are not perfect beings by any means, and often fall short of their daughters' expectations for the relationship. These war torn relationships between mothers and daughters is what I am addressing in "I Wish You Weren't My Daughter, I Wish You Weren't My Mother - Overcoming A Toxic Relationship." The only way to heal a strained and out of control mother-daughter relationship that has gone toxic is by getting to the root of the problem. For the mothers, there's something about their daughters that just rubs them the wrong way. For the daughters, it is a matter of being tired of the mothers' controlling and dismissive ways.
