Re-Connecting to Mom

by Stephanie
(U.K.)

I want to share some of my mother-daughter-relationships feelings that got triggered by seeing an episode of Sanctuary.

Dr. Helen Magnus, the main character of Sanctuary, lost her daughter Ashley.
Ashley got kidnapped and genetically / biochemically modified into a human killer machine. The bad guys who kidnapped Ashley, ordered her to destroy the organisation of her mother Helen Magnus.

So Ashley goes off to her mother's office to haunt her mother down destroying her and her mother's work.
So mother and daughter meet (goose bumps!).
They get into a physical row and Helen stands her ground though her heart breaks to be figthing with her daughter.

Ashley retreats and before Ashley disappears into the EM field, Magnus gets through to Ashley by saying "Ashley please listen...."
and the miracle is that the 'Ashley machine' gets overruled by the 'Soul Ashley'!
Ashley stops fighting and returns to normal for a bit.
Then Ashley re-connects back to her Mom!

This scene touched me deeply it was very well acted!.

I realized that this is the feeling I'm longing for: to actually feel a strong and loving connection to my Mom.
Mom’s love & validation is all a daughter needs to go out and make it in this world!
