Can You Forgive a Parent That You Have a Turbulent History With? Author Laura Davis Shares How She Did It, And Why It's Not For Everyone
Show Notes

The bumpy relationship between bestselling author Laura Davis and her mom was well-documented long before her recent memoir The Burning Light Between Two Stars: A Mother-Daughter Story was published and resulted in a long period of estrangment. Yet where some of us may have written the relationship off forever, Laura and her mother worked hard to lay a foundation of respect and forgiveness.

You will learn:

  1. As long as both parties are willing to work, the opportunity for both hope and change are endless.
  2. People with an abuse history with their parent might wisely choose to maintain boundaries with their parent.
  3. Enlisting the help of a coach or therapist or parenting course may be useful in the process of mending relationships.


Author Laura Davis is a bestselling author of several nonfiction books including The Courage to Heal that sold more than a million copies and opened a dialogue for sexual abuse survivors. Today, Laura teaches writing in classes, workshops, and retreats around the world.
