Andrea Simon, I wish you would teach another workshop on Mother and Daughter relationships like the one you described in this article. I would sign up to take it in a heartbeat!

Andrea Simon has given me a lot to think about in this new year. Writing about my mother wasn’t on my to-do list, but it is now. It’s time for me to explore “writerly issues of emotional boundaries and the worth of personal truth.” Thanks for the encouragement, Andrea.

Excellent article. It rang a lot of bells for me. Despite not being a writer myself, I very much identified with the women in the workshop, as well as with the leader. It made me realize that there is still so much room for women to speak openly about their relationships with their mothers. Great article !!!
