Curveball - Estranged From Mothers Curveball – The Club you didn't want to be part of
-
- Personal Journals
Our mothers birth us and/or raise us, and if so, are naturally pivotal in our lives as role models and caregivers - we hope they love us and have our best interests in mind and that we love them. But what happens when that isn't the case, or they are dysfunctional, or the relationship between you is toxic or broken down to the point of estrangement. How does that affect you and your place in the world?
Beth Armstrong guides the conversation between three brave, astute and articulate women who speak together anonymously to share their stories of how they became estranged from their mothers and the consequences.
