Will I Ever Be Good Enough?, You're Not Crazy—It's Your Mother, and Mothers Who Can't Love
Will I Ever Be Good Enough?: The first book for daughters who have suffered the abuse of selfish, self-involved mothers, Will I Ever Be Good Enough? provides the expert assistance you need in order to overcome this debilitating history and reclaim your life. Drawing on more than two decades of experience as a therapist specializing in women's health and hundreds of interviews with suffering daughters, Dr. Karyl McBride helps you recognize the widespread effects of this emotional abuse and create an individualized program for self-protection, resolution, and complete recovery.
You're Not Crazy—It's Your Mother: Do you find yourself emotionally bruised, upset and confused after being in touch with your mother? Do you find yourself doubting yourself—even feeling crazy—as she remembers incidents totally differently to how you remember them and denies other events even happened at all? Do you somehow feel like you're not a real person in her company?
Mothers Who Can't Love: 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.

Well, talk about having to look at yourself! I don't know what I expected, but it was good to know Mom was only on the spectrum (from my view). It wasn't good to see myself popping up in the reading though. This sure explained some things I wondered about.
