Mother Hunger
“It wasn’t your fault. But it is your responsibility to heal.”
Reading Mother Hunger felt like sitting across from a therapist who finally had the words for everything I’ve felt but couldn’t quite explain. This book dives deep into the emotional wounds that come from not receiving the nurturing we needed from our mothers — whether through absence, neglect, or emotional unavailability.
