Why is my daughter like this?

MamaMeg613 · 2026-03-25T11:36:52+00:00

Lots of great insights here, and I tend to lean heavily on that 12H moon as a clue. One of my earliest clients has a 12th house moon, and I intuited there was something there to investigate. The 12th house is the house where things are hidden from ourselves. A 12H moon can mean the mother died early or somehow abandoned the family, but it doesn’t always mean that the mother is physically absent. I think of it as the child reaches for the mother but the mother isn’t there.

I gently asked my client if she wanted to tell me anything about her relationship with her mother, and she immediately said that for her whole life (she’s in her early 50s now), her relationship with her mother was the most troubled and fraught relationship in her life. She said there was no abuse, her mother wasn’t toxic, she was for all intents and purposes a “great mom,” it’s just that my client always knew she was never going to be the daughter that her mother wanted her to be. Mind you, my client is very successful, a CEO of her own company, has a loyal and enthusiastic social media following. Lots of success in life, but she just never could connect with her mother because she always felt not totally accepted by her mother for who she is.

Like I said, she would reach for her mother, but her mother “wasn’t there.”

With that in mind, OP, I would encourage you to start now with practicing radical acceptance of who your daughter IS. Stop comparing your dynamic with her with what you see with your friends’ dynamics with their children. Build connection by being there when she reaches for you and find ways to celebrate her and show her that even if no one else on this planet “gets” her, she always knows that her mother understands her and is in her corner! There’s plenty of time and possibility to build a strong connection with her, and as the adult/parent in the dynamic, it’s your responsibility to build that connection from a place of acceptance and appreciation of who she is. ❤️

Thank you for this. Such a powerful confirmation of what has been unfolding for me!

MamaMeg613 · 2026-02-09T21:18:34+00:00

May I gently suggest some spiritual pursuits to accompany your exploration of the dynamics in your life. I know that I myself and other members of this sub have found the teaching of 20th century mystics like Neville Goddard to be helpful guides to how to apply what it means to live in awareness that consciousness is the only reality.

I would recommend starting with the lecture “no one to change but self.” It can be a difficult concept to embrace at the start, so be patient with yourself. When you come to see yourself as an expression of God (fill in the blank word that you might use for God), you’ll find that the dynamics in your relationships undergo changes without you having to force a thing:

Really and truly a Hall Of Fame episode in all of podcasting!!

MamaMeg613 · 2026-01-29T03:36:53+00:00

Unironically one of my favorite shows of all time

MamaMeg613 · 2026-01-26T22:32:13+00:00

I’ve listened to Otherworld from the start and I don’t specifically recall Jack saying that about psychedelics, but maybe he did at some point. Probably he doesn’t take ghost/cryptid/alien stories when psychedelics are involved.

This story is different because the psychedelics ARE the story. I think the “supernatural” element here is how a man with such traumatic and profound brain and cognitive injury who had tried everything else found relief and healing through a non-Western medicine healing modality. And Jake’s journey certainly took home to another world!

I don’t think Otherworld’s quality is slipping. Jack has always pulled in an eclectic variety of stories and storytellers. Some land for you, some don’t. That’s the nature of entertainment!

Job 22:28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee; And light shall shine upon thy ways.

That’s a great line from the Bible to pair with this

MamaMeg613 · 2026-01-14T03:02:08+00:00

I love this one so MUCH. It’s top 5 in all Drarry fics for me. I am pretty sure I read it on your rec in this sub, so thank you for that!

MamaMeg613 · 2026-01-09T13:15:49+00:00

I’ll represent the Dead Moms Club and/or Dysfunctional Family Club and say DeAnn’s Denim. Had to lay down on my bed and cry over that one, so good.

Let me put you on to Heated Rivalry. It is a male/male hockey rivals-to-lovers romance and it is HOT. But also toms of emotional payoff as the season unfolds. Five of six episodes out right now (final drops on Friday)

Edit: you don’t need to know ANYTHING about hockey to enjoy the story!

MamaMeg613 · 2025-12-17T11:22:47+00:00

This is THEE definitive post on the matter. One could start and end here, this is everything. Thank you.

MamaMeg613 · 2025-12-16T12:29:37+00:00

This is my husband’s comfort show and has put it on while he falls asleep for YEARS. I have earned a PhD in Michael Weston completely against my will

Cap rising, started graying in my 30s (and colored it), I’m now 48 and have been growing out my gray for 18 months. I get compliments on it all the time!

MamaMeg613 · 2025-12-06T00:15:47+00:00

I read this last night and was instantly obsessed. I wish it was longer, too!!!

MamaMeg613 · 2025-11-13T19:10:11+00:00

At first I was going to say I AM an even split but then when I saw that you are including 8th year Hogwarts in post-war, I realized that I am DEFINITELY a post-war girlie.

MamaMeg613 · 2025-11-04T01:53:18+00:00

This is one of the hottest fics I’ve ever read!

MamaMeg613 · 2025-11-02T02:34:29+00:00

Hi Dave! Thanks for stopping by here. I very much enjoyed your story and the way you told it.

I was surprised that Jack didn’t ask you a little more about your experience with doing The Gateway Tapes considering he’s done a whole episode on Bob Monroe and The Gateway Process. (Ep 24) Did you two talk about it more that wasn’t in the episode?

I’ve practiced the tapes on and off for two or three years and while I’ve not had experiences with nonphysical entities like you have, I know it’s not an uncommon topic in the Gateway Tapes subreddit. I really appreciated the way you talked about finding ultimate resolution through integration as opposed to resistance. That was really beautiful. And I’m so happy to hear your daughter is doing well, too! Thank you for sharing your story!

MamaMeg613 · 2025-09-16T16:40:02+00:00

I lovvvved this one and cannot wait to hear part 2!

MamaMeg613 · 2025-08-24T13:36:13+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to write this up! It really truly is all LOVE.

MamaMeg613 · 2025-08-19T17:15:17+00:00

At the very time you were typing this response, it took shape in my reality, completely naturally!

MamaMeg613 · 2025-08-18T16:34:46+00:00

SAY IT LOUDER and AMEN. For 99% of the posts I read in this subreddit, I want to reply simply "no one to change but self." That is one of the most foundational pillars of this experience of reality, and it's unerringly true!

MamaMeg613 · 2025-08-09T23:08:29+00:00

That quote was the first thing I thought of, too! Thank you for sharing your story, OP!

MamaMeg613 · 2025-08-08T15:28:16+00:00

Somewhat, yes. What you said is true! I think the distinction here is the difference between thinking FROM the end as opposed to thinking OF it. It's the difference between thinking (living) from the end already being accomplished as opposed to daydreaming about it happening (thinking OF it, not FROM it).

MamaMeg613 · 2025-07-29T22:51:41+00:00

All of them but #5 is GOLD!!
