Mother Daughter Relationships

Daughters often need a mother's guidance, support, friendship, and love. However, when mom and daughter are at a constant disagreement about their perspectives and beliefs, daughters will often rebel against mom...doing what they want anyway.

It's easy for moms to misunderstand their daughters, and it's easy for daughters to misunderstand their mother's intentions. Yet, the best way to improve mother and daughter relationships, along with other relationships, is by communicating with each other in a healthy way.

How do you communicate in a healthy way?

• By honoring each other's feelings.


• By listening to each other.


• By withholding criticisms and attacks on the other person.


• By learning how to love yourself first.

After reading stories posted by relationship-with-self viewers, most of the questions concerned the feeling of being hurt by either their mother or daughter. It seems the conflict has been left unresolved and solving the issue at hand hasn't been as easy as just "communicating" with one another.

The problems seem to vary from mothers choosing men over her children, daughters feeling ignored, mothers feeling distant from their daughters, and so on.. Every problem is as unique as the person themselves and with that being said, it's important to keep one thing in mind..

In order to truly find a solution to the problem between mother and daughter, sometimes a person needs to try a little bit of everything in order to discover what works and what doesn't in the relationship.

There will be yelling, crying, ignoring, and criticizing until the chaos becomes unnecessary..and just plain exhausting. And when all the anger and resentment fades, there you'll find the solution to the problem.
