Movies, TV shows, and web series often depict mother-daughter relationships as strained, toxic, or even abusive. For instance, films like "The Witch" (2015) and "The Killing of a Sacred Deer" (2017) feature mothers who are emotionally manipulative and controlling. Similarly, popular TV shows like "Game of Thrones" and "The Sopranos" portray mothers who are cruel, dismissive, or even violent towards their daughters. These portrayals can perpetuate negative stereotypes and reinforce the idea that mother-daughter relationships are inherently conflicted.
