Indifferent Mothers – feedback, please

I have an idea brewing in my head for my next book and I would love to know your thoughts on the topic.

I’m thinking about writing a book about women who have indifferent or detached mothers. Following are some questions for your consideration about the book’s subject matter.

Do you feel your mother isn’t involved much in your life?

Did you think that would change once you had children, and it hasn’t?

Are you concerned that your mother’s indifference will affect your own mothering?

Does your mother’s lack of involvement in your life affect how you feel about yourself?

Since becoming a mother, has your mother’s indifference bothered you more than before children?

Do you feel your mother is much more involved in one of your sibling’s and their children’s lives? Does this bother you?

Would you be interested in reading about ways to find some peace about your mother’s detachment?

Would reading other women’s struggles with this issue help you?

If the questions above interest you, please let me know. You can click the Comment button below, or send a private email by clicking Contact Melanie under my picture at the left. The primary thing I need to know is your level of interest in reading a book on this topic, but any and all feedback is appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your comments!

    i am looking into the effects of an indifferent mother. It seems quite a common theme in my agegroup 40-50. I am at the stage of researching what effect this has had on my life and my children. i had a mother who did not ever talk to me or have a conversation with me. She is not a bad person, she is very loved infact. I have absolutely no idea why she has no interest in me and feel that i may have some dysfunction which is embedded. I recently cut off communications and my mother announced to the family that she feels nothing. i don’t think she was being spiteful, she actually feels nothing, i’m not taking this personally. Maybe she is a psychopath? a kind one, she didn’t bury me in the garden after all…
