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.

Worth Your Time!

The case studies presented in this book to describe the mothers that miss the mark was rather intriguing. Unfortunately, many of us could relate to the pain caused by the type of mothers described in this literature. I will definitely purchase a physical copy to refer back on when needed. This book validates the trauma I’ve experienced from my mother & is definitely part of my healing process as an adult. I wish much love & peace to other healing daughters.

An amazing book!

This book was amazing, and has brought light to my life and more understanding of what I went through as a child. Highly recommend to heal the wounded child with in!

Hope for my future

Although the exact type of mother that I have did not fit perfectly into one of the categories, I was able to take pieces that my mom did show and learn from them with the examples provided. There’s almost a comfort when you realize that it’s not your fault for the way your mother treated you he ause it happened to other kind people also. I plan to share this with anyone who tells me they experienced a rough upbringing with a female caregiver. I am so glad this book was written, and I loved the audiobook version.
