The relationship to mother is special for everyone and it's never easy but always ambivalent. Every daughter is disappointed due to unrealistic expectations of their mothers. The role of motherhood is impossible to fulfill. It is very common to shame and blame mothers and to distance and trying to fix mothers. But there actually is little talking and little of recognizing their competence. It's crucial to develop a more objective view of mothers, putting them into context and looking at the role of motherhood at the time and engaging with motherhood as an institution.
