Forgive Your Mother. A Book of Liberation from Guilt, Resentment, and Expectations

For years we have been trying to "fix" our mother. So that she finally understands that she loved us too little, paid too little attention, and didn’t warm us enough. Again and again, we drown in mutual accusations, dissecting the past as if we could rewrite our childhood and start all over again.

This book is not only about our mothers but also about ourselves — those of us who have already become parents and place unbearable demands on ourselves, blaming ourselves for mistakes and fatigue, for the difficulties we once faced. It is about how to break free from the circle of resentments and guilt. How to start living our own lives without depending on our mother’s approval, her opinions, or her actions. Written by psychologist and educator Yaroslavа Ryndina, it invites us to meet our real, living mother — to stop demonizing and correcting her.

And to forgive her. Not for her sake, but for our own. To finally feel free.
