Resumen del Editor

Transform your relationship with your mother.

The best news on the planet is that your mother doesn't have to change in order for you to be happy. In fact, author Karen C.L. Anderson will take it a step further and say your mother doesn't have to change in order for you to be free, peaceful, contented, and joyful.

You can emotionally separate without guilt: Inspired by her own journey, Anderson's Difficult Mothers, Adult Daughters: A Guide for Separation, Liberation & Inspiration shows women how to emotionally separate from their mothers without guilt and anxiety so they can finally create a life based on their own values, desires, needs, and preferences. Not to mention being able to like and respect themselves during the process.

Learn through the experiences of others: Through personal stories and experiences, practical tools that can used right away to feel better, and journal prompts, Anderson compassionately leads women who struggle in their relationships with their mothers through a process of self-awareness and understanding. Anderson's work with hundreds of women and her own personal work have resulted in profound growth and transformation. Anderson knows the results are nothing short of miraculous.

Funny and compassionate: This audiobook is about Anderson discovering and accepting the whole of who she is (separate from her mother), and making her discoveries accessible to women struggling to redefine their challenging relationships with their mothers. Her writing is relatable, real, funny, and compassionate.

What you'll learn inside this audiobook:

• Why mothers and daughters tend to have difficult relationships

Like salve on an infected and angry flesh wound.

I must be ready to do some healing or Karen and this book would not have shown up and I am grateful. It resonates on so many levels for me regarding the pain and anguish I experience daily because my deteriorated relationship with my difficult mother. I am so relieved to understand that I am not the only woman who carries this incredible burden. I am grateful for the honesty and candor of Karen's story and the resources I may access for the inevitable ongoing work. I listened to it very quickly and now will go back to dig in and do the journaling and other exercises. I am eager to read Karen's first book as well now. I highly recommend this work to any adult woman who has a mother that feels more like a foe than a friend. Revolutionary.

Great resource

Great resource for those looking to understand mother daughter relationships that are problematic and underrepresented in our culture.

Just what I needed to hear

Loved this book. I have listened to “Will I Ever Be Good Enough” and “ Mothers who can’t love “
This was a great next step in my healing process. About to start it over and take notes this time.

WOWZA!!!!

If you are even debating this book.. DO NOT debate any longer.. it has surpassed my expectations!!!! The first 30 seconds I felt like Karen was talking to me, she has this way of helping you breakdown what you feel is happening and what might actually be happening. At the end of each chapter is a overview, breakdown and activity to help you put all this great information into action. This book does not shame your mother but instead focuses on you. What I love the most is how she teaches you it’s okay to have emotions, have feelings and what to do with them. I like that she helps you find the best path for yourself and for your mother. She talks about being emotionally enmeshed with your mother and how to find yourself without losing yourself. I’ve already sent this book to 3 friends because I cannot believe how much insight this book has given me. Whether your mother is currently alive or has passed away this book is for you. I cannot say enough great things about this book. I will be buying a paperback copy so I can highlight important parts and really take this book to heart. Thank you to the author Karen!

Great book!

I loved this book. It was extremely helpful and a bright guide in a very difficult time. I would recommend to anyone who's dealing with a tough mother/daughter relationship.

i have to get the Hardcover

The material is on TARGET !!
LIFE CHANGING READ & LISTEN. This stuff will make therapy better with each week!

Good for a specific relationship

Pretty high level, nothing ground breaking, but really focused on her point of view coming from her specific relationship with her mother and setting boundaries and distance. For someone who was abandoned by her mother or has a selfish/absent mother and longs to have a close relationship with her, it misses the mark.

Clear and helpful

This book was so informative and the author did a wonderful job of explaining the process of healing and the bumps along the way.
