I stumbled across an article titled "Daughters of Unloving Mothers" where the author lists the emotional and psychological affects of not having a healthy bond with ones mother based on love. I related to the article a lot & it gave me the idea to create this survey. Whether you are male or female would you say you've experienced any of the following as a direct result from your relationship with your mother?
Lack of confidence - You grew up feeling unworthy, unloved, criticized

Lack of trust - Experiencing love as involving obsession, a desire for reciprocation and union, emotional highs and lows, and extreme sexual attraction and jealousy
