Oh, Mother!: A Guide for Improving And Deepening Mother-Adult Daughter Relationships
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The pressure to be a good mom is a given, but could being a good daughter be every bit as challenging. As our average life span increases, so does the length of the mother-daughter relationship. Also, more and more adult daughters have full-time jobs and live plane rides away from their aging mothers. With these social changes comes a new set of challenges to what was already a demanding relationship. In OH, MOTHER Mildred G. McClosky, a family therapist who's studied mother-daughter relationship for more than 30 years, identifies the specific issues that disrupt mother-daughter adult relationships, such as generational differences, giving and receiving advice, and balancing independence with support. Using information gathered from in-depth interviews and her counseling sessions, as well as from her own experiences as a daughter, mother, and grandmother, McClosky shows readers the other side of the longevity coin: mothers and daughters have an unprecedented reprieve in which to mend past hurts and enrich their time together.
