Surviving Mama is a stirring and thought-provoking self-help guide brimming with illustrative examples and empowering life lessons geared toward women from young adulthood to mid-life. It takes the reader on a journey through eight narratives of females sharing their experiences of their mothers' self-absorption, demanding ways, jealousies, belittling jabs, excessive worry, controlling nature, narrow-minded perspective, or perhaps even mental illness.
Each of the eight chapters concludes with clinical and biblical analyses of what's happening in the relationship in addition to reflective questions designed to heighten the readers' self-awareness and healing. The last two chapters provide practical "how-to" instructions on navigating a difficult relationship with Mama honorably. Dr. Pamela Thompson is so helpful and down to earth.
She acts with empathy, care and concern. I really appreciate that she is good at offering practical recommendations, and resources to assist with working through issues.
