These daughters recognize that they have learned — from their mothers and from society in general — to be far too tolerant of being silent and practicing self-neglect.

The model makes the complicated dynamics between mothers and daughters easy to understand, explains why mothers and daughters fight, and teaches how mothers and daughters can build strong, emotionally connected relationships. I have never found hormones or personality traits to be the core reasons for mother-daughter relationship conflict, however. L. Anderson shows women how to emotionally separate from their difficult mothers without guilt and anxiety, so they can finally create a life based on their own values, desires, needs, and preferences.Cf: Lindsay Gibson’s work on Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents for spot-on analysis and advice on topic.
