You Don't Really Know Me

Arguing is a common aspect of the mother-daughter relationship, occurring every two-and-a-half days on average, as both parties navigate changes in their bond. Terri Apter explores how daughters use conflict to express their evolving identities and seek understanding from their mothers, who often misinterpret these outbursts as rejection. Through case studies and dialogues, the book guides mothers in decoding their daughters' anger and fostering a deeper connection, transforming conflicts into opportunities for closeness.
