    … Mother wound?

    Do people actually say this?

    Has the nomenclature almost made its way all the way back around to ‘hatchet wound’, or is this just one specific strange usage or random thought?

      I had to Google it myself. It’s apparently a psych term to refer to trauma one might carry relating to the loss or otherwise lack of care, nurturing, or affection from a mother.

      I guess it’s psych speak for “Mommy issues” from what I’m reading?
