Publisher's Summary
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

- The art of creating, articulating, and maintaining impeccable boundaries

Highlighted the words of my therapist
This book came at the right time. Going through burn out and questioning myself all the time about my mothers behaviour this book definitely settled my crazy thoughts. It confirmed yes, what your friends and therapist are saying is right. I listened to it over and over. It’s also helped me improve my behaviour around my own child instead of dragging the generational curse into the next.
Sorry writing this half asleep with one eye open.

Highly recommend
This book was so useful and accurate that I think it warranted a mic drop at the end. It gets better as it goes on. Transformative.

Some excellent insights
Although I generally enjoyed listening to this book, and gained some great insights from it, I did struggle a little with the limited author's viewpoint at times, as it's told through the lens of her own experiences. Don't get me wrong, her expertise and experience are both relevant and valuable, however, her personal views were at times (I felt) expressed as though facts rather than opinions.
If you are seeking to heal yourself from a difficult mother/daughter (adult) relationship, this is a book that is well worth listening to. There are numerous very practical suggestions to try, and the journal prompts are also very helpful. The author's desire to encourage you to heal from a toxic mother/daughter relationship is very apparent, yet also respectful to whatever choices you feel you have or come to make with how you navigate your own personal experience. I very much appreciated that about this book's message. Although many relationships can be repaired and healed, not all can or will, and the author acknowledges this. She reminds you though that you can heal from the pain it has caused you whether the relationship is repaired or not.
Having taken many years to heal my own relationship with my mother, I am aware of how challenging it can be to face our own demons in this respect, and believe that the advice and suggestions this book offered are very helpful - if you are ready to embark on the personal journey that this type of healing takes you on. If you're not ready, you will likely dismiss it and avoid finishing it because listening to it will probably annoy you.
Be warned though, this book is quite likely to stir up any emotional muck you have silently sitting within you. Perhaps it is best listened to in smaller doses rather than a single sitting.

Life changer
Listening to it while gardening, I was want to shout "Yes, Yes" or sit and quietly weep. Since then I have got the hard copy and doing the hard work of journaling as Karen recommends. It has made a real difference to my life and my health. Karen generously includes lots of reference material and sources, so you can go off on your own journey of discovery. She has even taken the time to have an email dialogue with me. So not just an ordinary book - a life changer.

Love the content, hate the robotic narration
The title of the review says it all really. This book is full of valuable information and support but the robotic narration is off-putting. Such a bizarre choice.
