I’ve been a daughter for a long time. And, as a daughter, I’m confident in saying there can be nothing quite so devastating as a mother. Not all mothers are the same, but the one thing they have in common is they’ve known you since before you were born. For some daughters, a mother is the most painful mirror imaginable. A reflection of your strengths, but also your biggest insecurities. For others, the relationship is reversed: your mother is your daughter and you, the daughter, are the mother, the parent who has no other choice but to step into shoes two sizes too big. In Wednesday’s second season, the hit Netflix show explores the complex (and sometimes scary) ways a mother-daughter relationship can take shape and evolve.
