What is a healthy mother and daughter relationship?

A healthy mother and daughter relationship… It takes a lot to have healthy mother and daughter relationship. You have to love each other, listen to each other, talk to each other, always listen to each other, trust in each other, respect her rules and space, and respect each other. When you are a mother you are always suppose to have that long mother and daughter talk and work through problems.
--------Why do you need a mother in your life? -------
It’s just plain simple that you need a mother in your life. Your mother can be your friend, mother, father, teacher, anything, just put into one. You need your mother to be there for you when you have your first period, to guide you through life, to have fun with, when you first get a boyfriend, when you graduate, when you have her first grandbaby. No matter what, you’re going to always need your mother by your side. That’s what a healthy and ideal relationship is. But most people don’t have this ideal in their life for a lot of different reasons.
-------What is an unhealthy mother and daughter relationship? -------
An unhealthy mother and daughter relationship is when you cannot communicate with your mother, when you disobey her rules, when you stay out all night, when you do anything you want to do, when you curse at your mother, when you fight with your mother, when you choose a boy over your mother. That’s all in a unhealthy relationship
------ For mothers: Why you should want your daughter in your life? ------
You need a daughter in your life to comfort you, to love you, to give you advice, to be there for you. You daughter can only do so much and that’s even if you let her. You daughter loves you. You cannot just treat your daughter like trash. If you do that will mess up her life and she will take it out on her child unless she gets help.
----------Why I chose a mother and daughter relationship topic? ------
I choose mother–daughter relationship as my topic… because I think a lot of mothers and daughters need to know how their mother feels or the mother needs to know how their daughter feels. It’s very unhealthy for you not to be talking to one another. You need each other in your life. An unhealthy relationship can mess up a lot of people’s minds. That’s why they take it out on themselves in ways such as abusing, suicide, and using drugs. Things like that are symptoms emotional difficulties and can be serious. That’s why I want to make a difference and let mothers and daughters know how important it is to try and build a strong relationship and work through difficulties.
----- Where you can get help? ---------
When having issues like this you can get help from a lot of places. Like going to see a counselor, talking to a therapist, talking to a regular doctor, getting support that can help to relax your mind and help you have a better life.
