| Annotation | This study explored daughters perceptions of continuities and changes in their relationships with their mothers in mid-life. Forty-two middle-aged daughters described the ways in which their relationships with their mothers had remained the same and had changed in recent years, with regard to instrumental support, shifts in emotional patterns, and changes in the parent-child roles in the relationship. Findings showed that daughters tended to describe changes in terms of their mothers' need for care and help with practical tasks, and vulnerabilities, and to describe continuity in terms of the emotional qualities of the bond. |
