How the mother wound runs deep through generations
The attacking mother, the critical or toxic mother
The OCD mother and the connection to cooking, cleaning and ironing
How mothers try to maintain control
The identity as a 'mother' and how tied people get tied to that
They also talk about the topics of forgiveness and when it is, and is not, the right route of action.
