We may come from a household with parents or a mother that is toxic or narcissistic or a codependent - and having a day specific to celebrating mom can bring up a lot of feelings. For many of us, we will likely always have a relationship with mom - whether that is good or bad. And your mom may always be narcissistic (or have narcissistic personality disorder) or codependent with you or toxic or whatever gripe you have with her or both of your parents, but you may still have to navigate that relationship with her. I'm talking through the 7 ways & tips to improve your relationship with your mother (or father or dad too) so that days like mother's day are not as challenging for both of you.

7 essential tips for navigating a difficult relationship with your mom:

1. Assess the relationship with your mother.
2. Acknowledge your role in your relationship with your mom.
3. Try seeing things from your mom's perspective.
4. Try practicing forgiveness with your parents.
5. Assess your own needs and capabilities with the relationship.
6. Avoid trying to change your mom.
7. Set healthy boundaries with your family.

Improving our relationships with our parents can be challenging, especially when complicated by abuse, addiction, or differing beliefs. However, by implementing these 7 steps, we can foster growth and find resolution. Remember, meaningful change requires effort.
