 An Introduction to Mother and Daughter Relationships by Ashley Strayer  This is excerpted from Mothers and Daughters - A Friendship for Life, available soon. I received a passion for writing from my parents. Learning from them over the years has been a great blessing. My mother and I decided to write this book together for many reasons. We would have loved to have somewhat of a guide to help us through the many situations a mother and daughter face. The road can seem very long, especially when unexpected turns come up, which is truly unavoidable. However we thought that maybe if we tell you some of the turns that took us by surprise, you might be ready for them. The other purpose of this book is to let you know that mothers and daughters can be friends. You can be best friends if you are willing to work at your relationship. Despite what the world would say, it is not only possible it is the Lord’s will for us. Believe me, I know that sometimes it’s not the easiest relationship to make work, but it is one of the most important of your life. From a daughter’s point of view, sometimes our mothers can embarrass us, sometimes they will drive us a little crazy, and we don’t always understand them. But, from the very moment we’re born, we need them. In light of mother-daughter relationships even the worst situations can seem less difficult. They provide a level of comfort that can’t be found anywhere else. I’m afraid too many girls take their mothers for granted. It is the most common trend among the girls I know. Far too many mothers spend their lives worrying about, and trying to help a daughter that simply thinks this is what my mom is supposed to do. “It’s her job to take care of my every need.” If this describes you, I’m sorry to tell you, but you couldn’t be more wrong. Your mother is a gift. Please allow me to share a word to moms. There is another extreme I have observed that also breaks my heart. It is when the mother is so wrapped up in her own life that she doesn’t know what’s going on in her daughter’s life from day to day. This is when I would say to moms, please remember, the main source of your daughter’s self-confidence, self-worth even, comes from you. There is a place in a daughter’s soul that can only be filled with the love that comes from you. She will also follow you step for step until she learns to walk on her own. My mother and I have been through a lot together. With every turn in the road she was right next to me, guiding me, showing me the path that the Lord was showing her. I truly do not know what I would have done without her gentle hand upon my life. We are hoping and praying that this book will be a help to even just one mother and daughter who might be having some difficulties getting through this season for the daughter called growing up.
