Looking for parenting books to help me break the cycle.
Hello everyone, this is my fist time posting on this sub ( or any sub for that matter) but I have lurked for quite awhile now. I'm a 34 year old female and am NC with my nmom for almost 2 years now. I have been working on my issues surrounding my abuse from my alcoholic nmom. I'm just curious if anyone knows of any books about how to be a good mother when I didn't grow up with a good example of a mother to draw any references from. She was always out at the bar getting drunk, bringing home random men and generally not giving a single fuck about me. I have a 13 month old daughter now and I wanna do right by her. I want to break the cycle and be a better mom than I had. I mean, I'm already way ahead of her there because I actually give a shit about my kid and am there for her(sober). But while I know what not to do, I find myself wondering what do I actually do? So if anyone has any good books or articles etc. I could check out I would be very grateful.
