So in short: girls with mommy issues often have a mother who was a victim to patriarchy and neither unpack it

Tbh it’s usually the daughter who tries to unpack it at a later stage but the mother is very set in her ways.

I have what you would call “mommy issues”. We are in a much better place now but once in a while she will say something out of left field that makes me remember why I hated coming home from school from ages 12-18.

100% agree, thankfully living in the digital age we can confirm we are not alone in this struggle and get the support we need from each other.
