The question many of my clients are scrabbling with is ‘do I care for Mum’ in her later years? Especially when she did not care for me.
There are different answers to this and everyone’s experience and decision is different and all decisions are ok.
If you are in this situation or scrabbling with this yourself then please remember that the most important thing is for you to decide what is the best route for yourself.
There are some societal phrases that are around that can steer and not help your decision process.
Phrases such as “She’s your mother, she cared for you for all those years, it’s your job” – not true.
“Why wouldn’t you care for her, she’s your mother after all”- again huge amounts of pressure there.
It is not your obligation but it can be your decision.

Some of the patterns we repeat were never ours to begin with — they were passed down, quietly, through the generations before us. This gentle set of self-exploration questions helps you trace those inherited loops back through your family line, so you can begin to loosen a hold that started long before you.

Inside the guide
Questions that trace the pattern back through your family line.
This isn't a quiz or a diagnosis. It's a quiet, guided reflection on what you may have inherited — the beliefs, fears, and coping styles handed down across generations. A sequence of open questions you can sit with, journal on, and return to, each one turning the volume down on self-blame and up on compassion for the people who came before you.

Name the inherited loop
Notice the patterns that keep circling back — and which ones feel strangely familiar from your parents or grandparents.

Follow the family line
Trace the behaviour back through the generations to where it was born — the hardship or survival it once answered.

Become the cycle-breaker
Imagine one small, kind choice that ends the pattern with you — so it isn't passed to those who come after.

And a few more themes in-between.

For a long time, I believed addiction was my problem.
 
Recovery taught me something very different.
The substances weren’t the root of my pain.
They were my way of escaping it.
 
When I stopped using, all the things I’d spent years avoiding were still waiting for me.
The fear of not being enough.
The need to be accepted.
The guilt.
The people pleasing.
The longing to feel safe in myself.
 
Recovery gave me my life back, but it also invited me into a much deeper journey.
 
Instead of asking, “Why did I become addicted?” I found myself asking a different question.
“What happened long before addiction ever entered the picture?”
 
That question took me back through my own life, my childhood and, eventually, into the lives of the women who came before me.
 
I began to see that whilst our experiences are unique, the emotional patterns we inherit are often surprisingly familiar.
 
Understanding that didn’t excuse my choices.
It gave me compassion for the parts of me that had been trying to survive.
That compassion became the foundation of healing—not just for me, but for the work I now do with my clients every day. Message me the word ‘cyclebreaker’ to get your free guide of how to identify the patterns for yourself and start to heal.

So why am I focusing on our relationship with our mothers?

If we consider that we spend 9 months in utero connected to our mothers, feeling her heart beat, hearing her voice or the vibrations of her voice, sharing what she consumes, what music she listens to, what conversations she has, what arguments she has, her stress levels. Sleeping right next to her. Moving about with her, feeling her excitement. We absorb so much as we are also developing and growing at this time so her biology will impact ours.

Do you still get those moments where you want your Mum? Even if she is alive, dead, available or not available.

We all have different stories and relationships with our mothers.

Would love to hear your experiences?

It was such a pleasure to be invited onto Robyn Harris podcast last week. A very enjoyable conversation. In this episode we explore:
• My journey from addiction to recovery
• Childhood abandonment and its lasting impact
• The roots of people pleasing and learning healthy boundaries
• Healing the mother line and inherited family patterns
• Inner child work, self-awareness and personal growth
• The courage to be vulnerable
• Why healing is often about remembering who we've always been

Relationship boundaries - I feel uncomfortable doing what you want me to do.
I will be respectful of you and try not to control you
I will respect you when you say no and expect you to do the same
Boundaries are not always about just saying no they can be a statement about what you will or won’t do.

What will you do or not do for someone else anymore?

31/07/2026

On my courses we go through suggestions of boundaries. Here are a few…. I feel hurt that you did not include me
I feel that my personal space is being disrespected
I feel hurt because of the way you continually talk down to me
I feel grateful that you are my friend
I am going to respect you by not snooping or listening to your conversations. I ask the same from you

WELCOME TO
The Mother Solution Retreat _ UPDATE _Change of date
New Date - 16th-19th October 2026.
The rift may not have started with you—but the healing can.
Your relationship with your mother is one of the first and most formative connections you ever experienced. It shaped how you see yourself. How safe you feel in your body. How you move through relationships, navigate the world, and define your worth.
But what happens when that connection was strained, broken, or never truly formed?
What happens when your sense of safety, validation, and love was conditional, withheld, or simply not available? The Mother Solution Retreat
A safe space for deep healing, community, and transformation.
This retreat is a space to reconnect with your truth, your power, and your innate wisdom. You will be guided through a gentle, yet powerful, trauma-informed experience. If you are interested message me the word ‘mother’ full deets in Instagram bio
