Mothers... Can't live with 'em... Can't live with 'em.

"Unlike the mother-son relationship, a daughter's relationship with her mother is something akin to bungee diving. She can stake her claim in the outside world in what looks like total autonomy — in some cases, even "divorce" her mother in a fiery exit from the family — but there is an invisible emotional cord that snaps her back. For always there is the memory of mother, whose judgments are so completely absorbed into the daughter's identity that she may wonder where Mom leaves off and she begins."
-- Victoria Secunda
"The tension to mother the "right" way can leave a peculiar silence within mother daughter relationships — the silence of a mother's own truth and experience. Within this silence, a daughter's authentic voice can also fall silent. This is the silence of perfection. This silence of perfection prevents mothers from listening and learning from their daughters."
-- Elizabeth Debold
