The Parentified Daughter with Bethany Webster

‘One of the many manifestations of the mother wound is the pattern of the “parentified daughter.’
Bethany Webster

A simple definition of a parentified daughter is when a daughter plays the role of mother for her own mother; the roles are reversed.

Often a parentified daughter must grow up very fast and loses the chance to be a child, as she is expected to manage the emotional and/or physical needs of her mother and/or father.’

This is Part 2 of the Healing The Mother Wound series that Bethany and I recorded together.

We discuss Bethany’s article ‘Parentified Daughters as Female Leaders; Keys To Your Emergence‘ how to take steps to heal this and what it can mean for us as we emerge.

I hope it’s useful for you. I’d love to know your thoughts, reflections, insights after reading.

Blood Water as Give-way

Our menstrual blood or moon blood, is a giver of life. As babies, we nest and are nurtured in this highly fertile luscious nectar. When we come to release this potion, it is all too often absorbed by toxic plastic pads or tampons and then discarded into landfill.
