I’ll be honest when I admit that I was terrified to have a daughter. As a woman who LOVES female company, and adores my girlfriends, it wasn’t at all the idea of having another little lady around– that I was beyond excited for. It was the idea of the responsibility of teaching a little girl about this harsh world that felt like the tallest of orders. I also knew how fraught the Mother/Daughter relationship can be: two sides of the same coin. Inherently “of” each other, and yet so different. Our daughters are as close as we get to mirrors in this life: they teach us everything about what we have to learn, and where our hang-ups and traumas are within ourselves. They are both the challenge and the remedy. When Marlowe was born, she was immediately my Best Friend. All the fears I had of being to able to navigate “Girl Mom” terrain disappeared into a ferocity I felt to make the world right for her, and protect her at all costs… CONTINUED ON HAPPILYEVAAFTER.COM “My Evolving Relationship With My Daughter” #motherdaughter #honestmotherhood #blogger 📷: @juliadags
