Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

Hi,

I'm new. I just turned Starting Over off and came on the internet searching for message boards. I am really irritated by Iyanla Vanzant. Why is her answer for EVERYthing to have you contact/find/mend a relationship with your father? Why can she not STAND to see a woman with a close relationship with her mother? It doesn't even matter how the father treats/treated the daughter, she just wants every woman to initiate a relationship with their father.

I know Iyanla's story and how her father was married to another woman and her mother was the "other woman". I know her father's wife treated her like crap. I think Iyanla has some serious mother-hating issues and needs some psychotherapy herself. She's unfit to counsel anyone until she resolves her own personal issues.
