The Mother Wound 👇🏿 Tokyo Toni on Blac Chyna

The "mother wound" may be a factor that is influencing your relationship with partners.

While the mother wound is most often associated with daughters, it is possible for sons to also have mother wound factors that influence their relationships.

The mother wound is a loss or a lack of mothering.

A deficit in the mother-daughter or mother-son relationships that is passed down through generations, and it is a reflection on how we have experienced parenting and how we parent.

Adults dealing with a mother wound often look back on their childhood and can identify issues such as:

* Never feeling they had their mother's approval or acceptance
* Concerns about not being loved by their mother or not being loved as much as other siblings or family members
* Difficulties in relating to the mother on an emotional level
* Uncertainty about the relationship with the mother and if it could be lost with a mistake or an accident
* Always trying to do better or to be perfect, to attempt to gain your mother's attention and acceptance
* Feelings of having to protect, care for, or shelter your mother rather than her protecting, caring for and sheltering you
