Product Information

Rather than seek to save them from the hard things, parents must teach their kids how to cope with and rise above their problems. Internal suffering encapsulates them and it’s extremely difficult for them to care for and love others when they’re suffering from deep wounds and inner problems themselves. Whether this inability to love comes from a lack of know-how, or a lack of desire, the results are the same.

To help you recognize if this dynamic echoes your experience, I’ve created a pair of checklists to help you identify how mothering your mother shaped and influenced a significant part of your life.
