“Another step is that daughters can learn to monitor their own feelings and instincts by saying, "I feel uncomfortable (angry, dominated, usurped, inadequate, guilty, furious) with my mother more often than I do not.

I don't have to blame or excuse my mother-I just have to see her so I can see myself.”
