Mother Hunger How Adult Daughters Can Understand and Heal from Lost Nurturance, Protection, and Guidance

I'm reading a book called, it's called Mother Hunger. How Adult Daughters Can Understand and Heal from the Lost Nurturance, Protection and Guidance by Kelly McDaniel.

She's also the bestselling author of the book Mother Hunger, which has given a name to a very common issue that thousands of her patients have faced.

One of the things that I love in your bestselling book, Mother Hunger, is that in the introduction, you tell readers that as you're learning about mother hunger, which is this kind of quiet grief that you feel because you have a big mismatch with the way that you were mothered, you invite readers to really look at the topic of mother hunger through the lens of being a daughter.

If you have a friend that's reading the book with you, or start a book group. Start a book group with your friends so that everybody reads it, everybody underlines what they want to talk about, and you bring it in.

You write about in the book how addiction can become a replacement for your mom.

We've seen people wake up and say no I can't do this anymore, and then on the flip side some have said this marriage that I thought was so broken really isn't. I just need to quit expecting this partner of mine to be my mother. So relationships get better, food gets easier, addiction and cravings get a little smaller.
