★ There are no perfect parents, and no children who have never been hurt.
This book doesn't blame or pressure anyone. It simply helps you turn resentment into the freedom of letting go.
★ Through real-life stories, it looks at the dark side of family – absent fathers, suffocating mothers, children who hurt their parents.
Then, with gentle psychology of forgiveness, it guides you toward healing.
★ It speaks directly to the hot topic of "family of origin" wounds.
For the first time, this series brings together three perspectives: the father, the mother, and the child. It helps not only wounded children, but also parents who feel hurt or hopeless in raising their children. It takes no sides – it simply helps families find real reconciliation.

The series includes three books:
《When Father Hurts》 Mending the superhero’s cape, and making peace with imperfect fatherly love.
《When Mother Hurts》 Stories of forgiveness for wounded children, breaking free from a mother’s invisible control.
《When Children Hurt》 Stories of forgiveness for wounded parents, healing yourself through family conflict.

The loving yet imperfect bond we share with our mother becomes the thread with which we weave bittersweet stories throughout our lives. We have all had a mother with her own specific, unique, imperfect personal history — one who may have hurt us, whether consciously or not. The stories tell us that those who harmonise their bond with their mother have reconciled with their life in its fullness. When Mother Hurts is a collection of moving stories told from the perspective of the adult child — that wounded child who, through forgiveness, sheds their chronic pain and walks towards the path of emotional liberation, reconciliation, and gratitude.
