Important Relationship

I am in graduate school for my second semester now, and just so happened to stumble across a topic of great interest and importance to me. I began researching mother-daughter relationships and the communication that takes place between them last semester not thinking it would turn into my thesis topic. But the more I researched it and the more I learned about all the complexities of this relationship the more I realized this was what my passion was in.

I come from a single parent home where my mom raised me, so while we had our differences in my younger adolescent years, as I have matured and grown older I have come to cherish our relationship more and more.

Through all of my research on mother-daughter relationships, while girls are often thought of as being a "daddy's girl's" it is the relationship that a daughter has with her mother that is one of very great importance.

So as you think about the importance of the relationship shared between mothers and daughters, I want to pose these questions to you.


- How do you personally view your relationship with your mother/daughter?

- Have you always viewed it this way?

- What are some qualities that characterize or explain how you view this relationship you share?


I am looking forward to reading your responses, observations, comments, questions regarding this important relationship as I try to further understand the mother-daughter relationship.
