Toxic mother

Hello mamas. Does anyone have any recommendations on resources about abusive mothers, mother wound etc? Could be literature, podcasts, articles, anything! I’ve been finally trying to understand that my mother has been emotionally abusive my whole life and trying to accept the fact that she will never change nor will I ever have a relationship that I would’ve needed. For my own sake, I want to try and heal, and find some peace with this. Thank you ❣️🙏🏼

Following. I am in the same boat, could have written that myself. I do not have the resources but have had counselling and was recommended to do CBT. Haven’t started CBT yet

Follow this lady she very much focuses on mother wound and parents in general

Your mother may never change, but you can and will. Think of one or two moments from your childhood where you were alone or needed a comforting adult. Envision your current adult self stepping in to help little you and give her what she needed then. You now have the love available within you to share with your younger self. Google reparenting, but skip the self-help articles and go to a source produced by psychologists. You are worthy no matter who your parents are/were. ❤️

Hey! I don’t know if you have a Reddit account but there’s a couple subreddits that are communities dedicated to similar topics. https://www.reddit.com/r/raisedbynarcissists/ https://www.reddit.com/r/JUSTNOMIL/ https://www.reddit.com/r/abusiveparents/

A couple books I would recommend- toxic parents and adult children of emotionally immature parents I would also highly recommend looking for a therapist to help you process these feelings as well, if it’s within your means. Most take insurance and open path is a great source for sliding scale.
