The MOM Factor - Dealing with the Mother You Had, Didn't Have, or Still Contend With Dr Henry Cloud & Dr John Townsend

The writers, both licensed psychologists, believe that our greatest influence come from our mothers. The most useful tip I find: that we get our mothering needs from others - our safe, support groups before returning to our mothers to love them, to forgive them and to accept them as they are - because we are now adults, and are now responsible for our needs. Some mothering needs that we may have: that our mothers accept us the way we are, that our mothers behave in certain ways and perhaps, that they have the same personalities as us.

What I don’t like about the way it’s written:
Because two authors wrote the book, they were quite particular about mentioning who the ‘I’ referenced (ie, whether it’s Cloud or Townsend). From a reader’s point of view, I find that not only unnecessary and that it also breaks the flow when reading. I think I might tell them about it…
