"My relationship with my mother?"

"It’s complicated.” 🫠

This statement is the telltale sign that I’m in the presence of a woman carrying a heavy burden.

The dynamics of mothers and daughters in patriarchal culture are complex- and beneath the complexity are confusion, longing, anger, fear, and more.

I know this wound well because I unconsciously struggled with it most of my life, and it's through the work of UNBECOMING that I transformed my pain and reclaimed my personal power.

❤️‍🩹 The Mother Wound is where my heart was broken again and again by someone who was supposed to know how to love me.

😦 The fear and longing kept me wondering if she would ever see, appreciate, and accept me for who I am.

😡 The anger indicated my unresolved pain, and my dysregulated nervous system each time I was with her would wreak havoc on my life for weeks after a "visit" with her.

As I grew older and had a family, my inner child self continued to cry out with unresolved feelings, unspoken words, unmet needs, and unfinished business that only grew louder - but I didn't know how to hear her, help her, or heal her.

👉misunderstandings

👉hurt feelings

👉 punishing behavior

👉 disapproving looks

👉 backhanded compliments, childishness, or passive-aggressive behavior I never quite got over

👉 guilt and shame...for not having a better relationship or for being closer with a sibling or another parent.. 😖

Any of these could trigger another tsunami of memories and pain.

When would it stop?

Our Mother or primary caregiver is the root of our identity, our ability to have healthy relationships with others, and love, comfort, and recover ourselves when we are in crisis or pain.

How we live, love, lead, parent, and move in the world is rooted in our relationship, or lack thereof with our mothers or primary caregivers.

👉 It also impacts how safe we feel with other women. 🫤

So what if it doesn't have to be this way?
