Do you love Mama, but STRUGGLE to find common ground with her?
Is she all-consuming of your time, money, energy, and patience?
Learn to make peace with her and enjoy an unburdened relationship.
Embrace full-fledged womanhood, regardless of your age, by learning to minimize Mama’s negative influence while cherishing her positive impact on you. Discard resentment and anger toward her that keep you stuck in unproductive cycles. Stop the madness of just hoping that one day she’ll get it and change. Hope alone is not a strategy, but specific intervention is. Surviving Mama is an important step in understanding how your mother’s embarrassing quirks, hurtful jabs, hostile attitude, self-absorption, controlling nature, chronic worry, and excessive demands can absolutely work for you if you allow it. “Your story” is probably somewhere in the true narratives presented in this book by women who are persevering in relationships with their mothers despite the strain. Experience a sense of connection with others who’ve endured confusion or emotional and physical exhaustion in difficult mother-daughter relationships. Most importantly, glean timetested truths from biblical and psychological precepts that guide you in discovering how to:
• Embrace independent thought and action along with assertive decision-making
without guilt
• Transcend Mama’s criticism, complaints, and attempts at control
• Set boundaries that free you to become who God intended
• Understand Mama with empathy you didn’t know you had
• Forgive Mama and unleash your soul
• Uncover the sacred lessons Mama imparted, perhaps in spite of herself
• Use specific dos and don’ts designed to increase acceptance of the reality of your
relationship with Mama vs. the fantasy you’ve nursed for years or decades
