Bizi,
The self help books do not ask you to forgive your mother for the harm she has done to you.
They usually talk about things like this:

~ re-mothering yourself,
~ loving yourself,
~ good self-care,
~ embracing your own needs,
~ supporting the inner child,
~ being in touch with your body (body work, exercise, massage,
~ self-talk
~ accessing love through art, music, nature
Love Your Inner Child

At this point in our lives—right now—we need to begin to make ourselves whole and accept every part of who we are.
We need to communicate with our inner child . . .
. .Thoughts of forgiveness and love for our inner child will open pathways, and the Universe will support us in our efforts.
