The Mum Factor: Dealing with the Mother You Had, Didn't Have, or Still Contend With

No one has influenced the person you are today like your mother. The way she handled your needs as a child has shaped every aspect of your life. How can you identify areas that need reshaping, make positive choices for personal change, and establish a balanced, mature relationship with Mum today? In The Mum Factor, Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend steer you down a path of discovery and growth beyond the effects of six common mothering styles: the Phantom Mum, the China-Doll Mum, the Controlling Mum, the Trophy Mum, the Still-the-Boss Mum, and the American-Express Mum. You'll learn how your mum affected you as a child and may still be affecting you today. The Mum Factor helps you identify your unmet mothering needs and fill them in healthy, life-changing ways through other people. It's a biblical, highly practical route to wholeness and growth, deeper and more satisfying bonds with your family, friends, and spouse - and a new, healthier way of relating to your mother today.
