It's Momplicated

From the flap: When you hear the word mother, what happens? Do you get a rush of love or a flare of anger? Does it conjure a pleasant memory or a painful flashback?Maybe you feel guilty for even picking up this book. After all, in a lot of ways your mother is great. But for some reason, after talking to her, you are tense and irritable.Whatever your reaction, the mother-daughter relationship is momplicated--it is complicated, rich, beautiful, and sometimes painful.And yet it can be difficult to fully understand why it is that way. Why can't we readily identify what needs to be fixed? Why is it so difficult to process the ways in which we've been hurt? How can we break the cycle of pain, become healthier, and move forward?Written from the joint perspective of a family therapist and a women's ministry leader, It's Momplicated will show you how God's love can help heal the wounds of your relational past--encouraging you to have compassion on yourself, offer forgiveness to your mother, and write a new story for your future.
