”Do not underestimate the difficulty in the shift from being the director of your child’s life to becoming a member of the audience. It will be your greatest transformation.” @heymom.co
Protecting our children vs. raising independent, self-sufficient adults.
There is a fine line. Knowing when to let go. When to hover. When to step in. When to back away. We love our children fiercely; want only the best for them. Keeping an eye out for pitfalls and traps. Looking out for their emotional well being.
BUT, there are some who cannot, will not, cut the apron strings. Keep a cynical eye on all who interact with their offspring. Dare anyone to come between them. Is that healthy? Is it logical? Is it what is in the best interest of the child…I mean adult child?
There are no easy answers. We can only let our heart lead us through the journey. Trust that we did the best we could. Fingers crossed that what our children become is all that we ever wanted for them…on their terms, not ours.
