Why is the mother-daughter bond considered the most complex and contradictory in our culture? Where does the sense of guilt, eternal debt, and unspoken anger familiar to thousands of women around the world come from? Journalist Blanca Lacasa Carralón, inspired by the shocking similarities between her own experiences and those of her friends, decided to break the most important family taboo—the code of silence.

"Terrible Daughters" is more than just a collection of personal testimonies. It is a profound exploration of the mechanisms that transform love into dependence and care into a lifelong obligation. Drawing on interviews with psychologists, sociologists, and historians, as well as examples from world cinema and literature, Carralón dissects the myths of "sacred motherhood" and shows how culture creates labels of "bad daughter" and "toxic mother."

This book is an attempt to break the vicious cycle of blame and social expectations, to see the ordinary woman behind the mother, and, finally, to reclaim the right to a life of one's own.
