For Mothers of Difficult Daughters; How to Enrich and Repair the Relationship in Adulthood
Is Unbelievable How some one can be conciderd an Expert, when Her own family life has been in shambles, I guess practice what you preach is not something they teach you in school.
The book is based on clinical mumbo-jumbo. and has no basis in reality.
Just my own opinion
Rating: 1 / 5
If a mother really wants to improve her relationship with her daughter, this is wrong book to read. This book was written for mothers who are unwilling to take responsibility for their own actions and need written proof to support their position. The author tells them what they want to hear – It’s not your fault!

Although the author does a good job of describing difficult mother/daughter relationships, she lays all the work to repair the Mom/Daughter relationship squarely on the Mom, over and over again. Do this, do that, etc. etc. She tries not to “blame” the Mom, but, throughout the book, tells Mom what Mom needs to do to repair the relationship. What about what daughters need to do? I guess, nothing, since they are difficult, thus the title of the book and they, the difficult daughters gets a pass. It’s not a balanced presentation on how both parties should work to repair the relationship. Or perhaps, the author needs to give Mom a pass, and tell her not to bother, if daughter is so “difficult”. She offers only one solid working suggestion for the daughter, not practical, if you live any distance apart, ask your daughter to go into therapy with you.

These authors are way off base. Daughters who are ‘difficult’ are so because they did not get what they needed from their mothers in the first place. The women who like this book are mothers who failed at parenting and now want to blame it on someone else, and guess who is handy.
Mothers with ‘difficult’ daughters are themselves difficult people. They need to look inside first in order to find the source of their daughter’s pain. Instead of blaming their daughters for being ‘difficult’ (which is like blaming the unhealthy fruit from a neglected orchard), these mothers might better show some responsibility and read ‘Making Peace with Your Adult Children: a Guide to Family Healing’.
