The Missing Mother Syndome

You could suffer from "Missing Mother Syndrome" if you experience most of the following conditions on a regular basis. And yes, even if your mother has been physically present:

• You feel lost, out of place, and unsafe in this world
• There is an underlying sadness in your life, even if nothing is wrong
• You tend to feel lonely and depressed, especially at other people's "Happy Family" gatherings
• You hate your body or are unsure about "being a woman"
• You have abandonment or anger issues that hurt your relationships
• You experience social stress - you either try to stay invisible,
or you have a compulsion to be in the limelight

• Any major crisis in your life, like a divorce, job loss, or bereavement, throws you right back into the painful past
• There is a lot of fear, anxiety, or even guilt and shame in your daily life
• You feel homesick without knowing where "home" is
• You are trying too hard to be happy and "perfect"
• You take rejection very personally
• You believe that everybody else gets their act together - except for you

"Missing Mother Syndrome" is not a clinically established condition.
It solely refers to my personal experience and that of women I have observed.

When Hope Edelman published her book "Motherless Daughters" in 1994, everyone who belonged to the secret sisterhood of women traumatized  by early mother loss had a revelation: That's exactly how I feel - and I am not alone!

Growing up without the secure presence of a loving, supportive mother implies much more than lacking a same-sex role model. It is devastating. Since the mother is the first, the basic caretaker, losing her -in a physical or emotional way- starts a nightmare of deprivation for a child. In a way, it never ends. Many negative conditions and feelings experienced later in life, may have their roots in this extremely traumatic experience: the early childhood abandonment or rejection by Mother.
