Another thing that fuel mothers' jealousy towards their daughters is husbands who oppress their wives but encourage their daughters to stay in their own power and become great.

These are those men that become #girldads and proclaim their new found respect for women.

Due to their abandonment issues these men would not dare marry an empowered women. They revere 'good girls' for their anxious attachment style as this qurantees a lifetime of begging, bargaining & enduring.

The good girl makes him feel powerful bt he is aware that she is wounded

He doesn't want his daughter to turn out like his wife so he empowers his daughter to become her best & even warning her against men like him.

This is infuriating to the oppressed wife who had to give up important parts of herself to gain this man's love & acceptance.

The mother's anger towards her husband is now misdirected towards the daughter.

Without self reflection the mother will continue to take out her anger on her daughter. She will drive a wedge between the daughter and her dad. Will starve her of affection. Punish her severely &...

Intentionally try to destroy her self esteem even going as far as creating smear campaigns against the daughter in the family.

This is an attempt to bring the daughter to her oppressed level bcoz only this way can she avoid being confronted with just how much of herself she lost
