Please suggest me a book that could help coping with an adult relationship with my mother that is not I wish it was – or not what a part of me seems to wish it was. Rationally I know the relationship is not and will never be different, but emotionally it's a different experience (sadness and grief IMO). She is present and active in my life but a constant trigger for the part of me that I am guessing longs for a real connection.
Thanks!
