Maternal Ambivalence reveals the emotional complexity of motherhood that most women feel—but rarely discuss. With compassion and clarity, Dr. Margo Lowy breaks open the taboo around conflicting maternal emotions and shows how they can actually deepen understanding, connection, and self-acceptance.
Drawing from clinical cases, cultural stories, and her own decades of mothering, Dr. Lowy offers a liberating perspective: our "darker" feelings are not a failing—they're part of what makes love real.
Readers Will Learn How To:
Normalize complex emotions and let go of guilt
Understand ambivalence as healthy and part of real-world mothering
Use conflicting feelings to strengthen insight and connection
Release unrealistic expectations and embrace authentic parenting
Transform self-judgment into self-compassion
Wise, honest, and deeply validating, Maternal Ambivalence reshapes how we talk about motherhood—and how mothers see themselves.
