Download or read book Mothers Who Can t Love written by Susan Forward and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Mothers Who Can't Love: A Healing Guide for Daughters, Susan Forward, Ph.D., author of the smash #1 bestseller Toxic Parents, offers a powerful look at the devastating impact unloving mothers have on their daughters—and provides clear, effective techniques for overcoming that painful legacy. In more than 35 years as a therapist, Forward has worked with large numbers of women struggling to escape the emotional damage inflicted by the women who raised them. Subjected to years of criticism, competition, role-reversal, smothering control, emotional neglect and abuse, these women are plagued by anxiety and depression, relationship problems, lack of confidence, and difficulties with trust. They doubt their worth, and even their ability to love. Forward examines the Narcissistic Mother, the Competitive Mother, the Overly Enmeshed mother, the Control Freak, Mothers who need Mothering, and mothers who abuse or fail to protect their daughters from abuse. Filled with compelling case histories, Mothers Who Can’t Love outlines the self-help techniques Forward has developed to transform the lives of her clients, showing women how to overcome the pain of childhood and how to act in their own best interests. Warm and compassionate, Mothers Who Can’t Love offers daughters the emotional support and tools they need to heal themselves and rebuild their confidence and self-respect.

Download or read book How Mothers Love written by Naomi Stadlen and published by Piatkus. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mothers describe falling in love with their babies and then, more slowly, learning to understand them. Children flourish when their mothers love and understand them. For over 20 years, Naomi Stadlen has listened to hundreds of mothers talking at her weekly discussion groups. In 'How Mothers Love' she offers unique insights into how mothers and babies learn to communicate intimately with one another. When adults relate to one another, they are building on the foundations usually laid down by their mothers. 'How Mothers Love' is a study of how mothers start to build those foundations and covers areas such as: how to create emotional 'space' for your unborn child; how to maintain a close relationship with two or more children; the transformation into motherhood and your role as a mother in wider society. By sharing the experiences of other mothers, Naomi Stadlen offers reassurance and support to all new parents as they navigate the highs and lows of the early years with their babies.

Download or read book Not All Mothers Love Their Baby written by Kirsty Mac and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-10-06 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike the glamorous image of motherhood we see portrayed in film, TV and social media - bonding through breastfeeding, family days out capturing lifelong memories and well put-together mothers who can 'do it all' - this book shows a raw and gritty reality that, for a lot of first-time parents, is far from what they expected. Her world turned upside down through shock and trauma of childbirth, and dealing with the heartache of postnatal depression in its wake, Kirsty recounts the first few years of motherhood that this cruel mental illness stole from her; robbing her of joy, threatening her relationship, and rendering her incapable of feeling any love for her baby whatsoever. Instead, she found herself in a constant state of mental brutality with 'The Mind Demons', isolating her from loved ones, berating her with intrusive thoughts, and sending her into a downward spiral of self-loathing and suicidal ideation. Without holding back, Kirsty takes her readers on a painful (albeit, rich with humour and wit) journey through postnatal depression - cracked nipples and swollen 'yoohas' galore. Believing herself to be a toxic, horrid beast and a failure of a mother, so much of her story will relate to new parents everywhere, especially those who have also found themselves asking why everyone else seems to have it together and they don't. From breakdowns mid 'passion' to weeping over postpartum belly pouches, this is a real story of parenthood, in all its sincere pain, rage and love - eventually.

Download or read book The Mother of All Questions written by Rebecca Solnit and published by Haymarket Books. This book was released on 2017-02-12 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of feminist essays steeped in “Solnit’s unapologetically observant and truth-speaking voice on toxic, violent masculinity” (The Los Angeles Review). In a timely and incisive follow-up to her national bestseller Men Explain Things to Me, Rebecca Solnit offers sharp commentary on women who refuse to be silenced, misogynistic violence, the fragile masculinity of the literary canon, the gender binary, the recent history of rape jokes, and much more. In characteristic style, “Solnit draw[s] anecdotes of female indignity or male aggression from history, social media, literature, popular culture, and the news . . . The main essay in the book is about the various ways that women are silenced, and Solnit focuses upon the power of storytelling—the way that who gets to speak, and about what, shapes how a society understands itself and what it expects from its members. The Mother of All Questions poses the thesis that telling women’s stories to the world will change the way that the world treats women, and it sets out to tell as many of those stories as possible” (The New Yorker). “There’s a new feminist revolution—open to people of all genders—brewing right now and Rebecca Solnit is one of its most powerful, not to mention beguiling, voices.”—Barbara Ehrenreich, New York Times–bestselling author of Natural Causes “Short, incisive essays that pack a powerful punch.” —Publishers Weekly “A keen and timely commentary on gender and feminism. Solnit’s voice is calm, clear, and unapologetic; each essay balances a warm wit with confident, thoughtful analysis, resulting in a collection that is as enjoyable and accessible as it is incisive.” —Booklist
