What did you do with your mother’s stuff?
We ended up selling most of the furniture to a secondhand dealer for bubkis and donating everything else to charity. We had fun with the clothes, though. Our mother liked loud colors, garish prints, frills and ruffles. We’d hold up a blouse covered with ric-rac cactus and mariachi players and crack up. “How could she buy this, let alone wear it?”
Is it true that unloving mothers shape their daughters?
That’s true of unloving mothers, too, even though there are observable differences in how they behave and treat their daughters. As I explain in my new book, Daughter Detox: Recovering from an Unloving Mother and Reclaiming Your Life, specific maternal behaviors shape daughters in very specific ways.
What’s the most horrible thing a mother can do?
One of the most horrible things a mother can do is invalidate the feelings of her children and make them feel like they are the crazy ones. This type of mother does negative things and blames the actions of her children as the cause of her negative actions. She doesn’t validate the feelings of her children as real concerns.

What does an unattuned mother do to her child?
An unattuned mother will insert herself into a baby’s space, misreading her signals, intruding when the child needs to withdraw; alternatively, an emotionally unavailable mother doesn’t respond, teaching the child that she’s on her own and needs to self-protect.
