Since a couple of years I started a process of psychologically separating from my mother with the help of therapy and other tools like mindfulness. I read quite a number of books on the subject, including the ones mentioned in the book - about the mothers who can't love, etc.This is probably going to be a longer review than initially planned, since I want to explain a couple of things first.So, about these books. In the beginning of the process I was so eager to find me a sole fix to all my problems, a one-book-that-explains-it-all. Inevitably there would be a disappointment in the end. So over the years I learned to look at it as a giant puzzle. Millions of pieces, all representing my knowledge about myself and life. Some books will deliver whole chunks of pieces - important insights, some only one or two pieces - interesting ideas that complemented existing knowledge, but not opening new areas. Ok, that was the detour.So I was eager to start reading this book ("The Peaceful Daughter..."), but not that eager like 'oh this is gonna be THE book'. I must also clarify, that therapy-wise, I am at the point where I seem to have past the peak of anger and bitterness and am slowly approaching sadness. Although it all goes in circles and at a 'two steps forward one step back' pace. This is to explain that I was particularly attracted to the word "peaceful" in the title. I am quite tired of all the anger. It's exhausting, really. So.I found the book really sharp and deep on a number of points. I am not going to detail all of them, but overall the book is extremely interesting because it is written by someone who's been there with her mother, through therapy, etc.
