To the Unloved Daughter: For all the unloved daughters

I highly recommend this book to any person who has experienced a toxic, unhealthy, and unloving mother in their life. This book is gentle but powerful in its healing and counseling. If you give this book a chance, you are giving yourself the opportunity to heal and feel loved.

This book is a must have if you grew up in a broken home. Having the ability to reframe your inner self and reflect is very powerful and this book does just that.

I love this book and I recommend it to any woman or young women who was emotionally and physically neglected by their mothers and feel like they were abandon by them and grow up with that emptiness and loneliness and without any emotion words of Love that a real mother should give her daughter growing up this book is a healing book for the mind and soul of our inner child that little Girl in all of us.

Author, Danu Morrigan, takes no prisoners. Would strongly recommend you read her first book, "You're Not Crazy It's Your Mother" as well as her second, "Dear Daughter of a Narcissistic Mother" before reading this one. Although, it offers much in emotional support for a difficult journey of recovery, it can be a tough read. Take small bites.

Awesome read very helpful must read

Great book. If you struggle with your relationship with your mom and need something to help you feel loved in those moments where your mother cannot, this book is worth the price

A Must for any man or woman with a cold or critical mother.

I didn't find this healing at all! It is written as if it is from our mother. I read it thinking "oh, this is totally made up." Not for me.I am finding the place of true healing is with Jesus. Because we can't undo what was done to us (I felt like this book tried). We can just learn from it and be better.

very beautiful book with short notes. I cried the first time reading it. I use it per the instructions and find it very comforting and healing

Thank you author for writing an inspirational heart felt book - I read it every day - your words are healing

ho letto un altro libro di Danu Morrigan e sono iscritta alla sua newsletter, molto utile per chi viene da situazioni di abuso narcisistico e neglect emotivo, e in generale raccomando i suoi lavori. questo libro, mentre non contiene materiale informativo sul tema, è strutturato in brevi note (comprensibili anche senza un ottimo livello di inglese) amorevoli, ma responsabilizzanti, per chi non ha ricevuto e mai riceverà supporto e vicinanza materna. un libro 'magico', da tenere come antidoto all'interiorizzazione del mondo distorto e senza affetto del genitore narcisista.

Just what I needed.

I already have Danu's original book, so bought this as a follow up. I have to say, as a daughter of a narcissistic, and I would say frankly sociopathic 'Mother', reading this is akin to learning a new language altogether. I've simply NEVER heard any of the words contained in this book emanating from my 'Mother', except the negative thoughts it hopes to counteract of course.Growing up, I could see how friends would have totally different family relationships. How they would be supported and encouraged, and praised and directed. How their parents would know their likes and dislilkes, turn up to things they were taking part in, know what was happening to them, pay attention etc, be there for them to fall back on, how they actually had that thing they called a 'home'. I can see how they would have been used to hearing the things in this book, things that I see on greetings card sometimes, or in books and films and that feel totally alien to me.So this is what a Mother was supposed to be, and reading what should have been, only highlights how far away my 'Mother' actually was from that. She would always insist otherwise of course. But it really isn't until you see what someone could have been, and compare it with what they actually are, that you truly notice the difference. It isn't until you are treated well, that you realise how badly you have been treated before. It isn't until you realise how someone could have treated you, and compare it with how they actually treated you, that you realise just how badly you were actually treated, and what a tremendous effect it had on you. Reading the messages in this book is akin to that, to being treated well, and that's when it hits you, even if you'd never consciously acknowledged it before, how badly you needed to hear these things and never did.Reading this is kind of simultaneously heartbreaking but self affirming. If I had any doubts that there was something very wrong with my 'Mother', or that she WAS a narcissist, reading the messages in this book that I should have heard throughout my life from a Mother, but never heard anything of the kind from her, would have absolutely confirmed it for me, because this is what an actual Mother should be like.If my actual 'Mother' found this book in my house, I can imagine the spiteful jealous resentful look on her face at doing so, and her cackling at reading the heartfelt messages a real Mother would say to their daughter, and me owning this book at all, and you know, being an actual human with my own thoughts and feelings, which says it all really. This book is filled with all the messages your resentful self obsessed 'Mother' never wanted you to hear.I would highly recommend this book, along with Danu's original book.
