I had a friend long ago, we used to have these very deep conversations about child parent relationships. Both of us had difficulties, like most people do, in some ways about our parents and how they reared us. We both concluded that parents can only do the best they can.

We both considered what our parents thought of us, whether they were happy with how our lives have turned out so far. Our conversation changed drastically with one question. I asked my friend would she like to be a mother like her mother was a mother and would she like to be a wife like her mother was a wife to her father.

I didn't consider the power of that question until my friend tried to respond, it took a few minutes of contemplation on her part. She later told me she considered not being truthful to me.

She answered me with, "I love my mother, but no I would not like to be a mother like she was nor a wife like she was."

A mother is free to tell her daughter how she is not pleased with her. She is free to chastise her child well into adulthood.

Mother, stop, would you like to be like your mother?
Mother ask your daughter, "Would you, my daughter, my child, like to be a mother and a wife like I have been?"

The truth can be a lifted burden from your daughter's shoulders.
