Why do we keep believing our emotionally immature mothers when they say, "I've changed"?If you've ever gone low contact with your mom, only to be pulled back in by promises of change, love bombing, or emotional conversations that seem to offer hope, this episode is for you.In this episode of The Mother Wound Project Podcast, we're exploring the painful cycle so many daughters experience with emotionally immature and covert narcissistic mothers: distance, promises of change, renewed hope, and the heartbreaking realization that nothing has really changed.We'll talk about:• Why daughters keep giving their mothers another chance • The psychology of attachment and intermittent reinforcement • The difference between performing love and showing love • Why words without accountability don't rebuild trust • What genuine repair actually looks like • How to recognize the difference between promises and patternsThrough personal stories about adoption, caregiving, family crises, and rebuilding trust, I share one of the most important lessons I've learned:Love isn't measured by what someone says. It's revealed by how they consistently show up when it matters most.If you've ever found yourself asking:"Why do I keep hoping she'll change?"This episode is for you.Ready to Go Deeper?
