Too many of us have a mother wound story to tell. A mother wound is often manifested when a mother, whose unhealed personal trauma, be it verbal abuse, emotional abuse, abandonment, caused the mother to adopt toxic coping strategies that developed into character flaws. This character flaws manifest in many ways… it can be an unhealthy way of communicating, emotionally abusive on the child, over controlling, manipulation, constant criticism, guilt trips and neglect. Simply put, if a daughter internalizes her mother’s unconscious beliefs (which is some subtle form of “I’m not good enough”) then she has her mother’s approval but has in some way betrayed herself and her potential. However, if she doesn’t internalize her mother’s unconscious beliefs in her own limitations but rather affirms her own power and potential, she is aware that her mother may unconsciously see this as a personal rejection.
For 41 years, LW didn't know about Yochi - her older half sister's existence. Finally at the age of 50, Yochi came to America and demanded that LW be told about her. They shared the same father and both had emotionally abusive mothers - LW's mother was codependent and Yochi's mother a narcissist. In 2008, at the age of 40, LW (born and raised in NY) met her half sister (raised in Israel) and they have been the best of friends ever since. This is quite a story.
