Daughters and Mothers

Honestly... Are there any adult daughters out there who have meaningful a meaningful relationship with their mother? Or a mother-type figure? Do those even exist? What do they look and feel like?

I have a great relationship with my mother..she is my very best friend . I tell her everything, we confide in each other, call each other at least twice a day, and are always laughing together. I love her so very much

@AnxiouslyUndefined26 Your question is a painful one because it seems that there's a lot of hurt behind it. Yes, I have a good relationship with my mother, but I do have negative experiences regarding her as well. I hope whatever experience is hurting you, you can get past it and emerge a stronger person.

I do know some people who have very toxic mothers and they are very hurt by them. If you want to talk about it you can always find a listener here on 7cups, and keep on finding more listeners until you find one who really gets you. That helps a lot.

I do and it feels lovely knowing there's always someone there who loves me and supports me. We're best friends. :)

I have a really good relationship with my mother, she is caring and warm and understanding. I trust her not to snap at me or punish me for being honest to her. And she rewards me with not being like that in return no matter what I did and how bad I got myself into something... Its all about trust and that is something I got with her. It is key :)

I am in my 50s my mother and I are not close, I love her but can't confide in her and growing up ,she was never there for me, I have experienced much anxiety and depression, I now have daughters that I long to be there for but, my oldest lives far away and we rarely speak, I do continue to reach out to her
