One day she’s sitting on your knee stroking your face and the next she’s rolling her eyes, walking away and telling you to get a life.
Teenage daughters – self-centred, mean and contemptuous. Rude, rebelling and rebellious.
You may not want to hear this but it’s not just about their behaviour.
In this week’s Debrief Daily podcast we discuss the relationship between mothers and their teenage daughters. We chat to a psychologist about why it’s so fraught, a young woman who reveals why her relationship with her mum broke down so badly that she had to move out and a mother who has survived to write about this particularly tough relationship.
What did we learn?
Well, step one, is about you. Deal with your own issues!
Daughters offer up a mirror of our relationship with ourselves. So, whatever pain you have will be reflected in your daughter’s pain and whatever issues you haven’t dealt will come back and bite you.
