From Mother and Daughter to Friends Book

First of all, being a mother his hard. For 17 years of your child's life you are their everything and they are yours, 24/7, 365 days a year. Then all of a sudden you have to cut the ties and let go? It's hard as hell to do that and it takes years to finally let go. I understand where Ms. Dow is coming from completely though I wouldn't have written a book about it knowing the effect it would have on my relationship with my daughter. A daughter doesn't need to be a celebrity to end up being estranged from her mother. It's a story as old as time and you never think it could happen to you. I read this book to gain insight from one mother to another. My daughters are grown and honestly, I learned many things from reading this book. One of them being..... I have to let go.
