Reviewto MY MOTHER/mySELF,
Nancy Friday
I went to look for this book 'casually with intentions
from find it
One cloudy afternoon, my mother gave me a look of
he controlled and with a sarcasm that I could not bear, he did
explode in me the HATE towards her! I can never get it out of my mind
will forget that
little glance that she threw at me like a
poisoned dart to the soul!
Very resentful, I went to Ghandi that same afternoon, I love that.
store is like the area of psychological therapy, each
every time I feel lonely, angry, frustrated, or
confused, I go in search of a book that fits
to my feelings and questions
deep. I arrived asking "a book that talks about
the mother-daughter relationship please" and they searched in the
little machine and they gave me 5 options.
Some very mafufos from Greek mythology, others
too expensive and convoluted psychology
this...an essay...and I, a lover of essays, of
good price and a good rating, I decided on this one.
I would recommend this book to all women,
is unmust!
My mother talks about the mother relationship.
daughter by stages. The stages depend on the ages:
when the daughter is small, when the daughter is
adolescent, when menarche begins, when the daughter
she has boyfriends, when the daughter is already a wife and when the
mother is already elderly.
The book left me with a very good aftertaste and
I understood many things that I was ignoring, I understood.
the "perverse" attitudes of my mother and I calm my
soul after having suffered severe damage due to its
a thousand and one angry darts. Understanding your mother you
you become a woman and stop being a girl, because even you
the way you look at her changes, you understand that she was
girl and who also suffered many things, who now
she is a mother and a woman even though she doesn't always overcome that
part.
It is our duty to be better people,
to perfect ourselves and mature truly, age does not
it makes mature our level of consciousness if not.
We will have to read Nancy Friday in English, since she has
two books but :
My secret garden yForbidden flowers.
