Is this you?
- Laying awake at 3am spiraling through worse case scenarios about your young adult kid’s future?
- Feeling like a failure as a parent even though you’ve always put your heart and soul into it?
- Feeling guilty because you are unexpectedly disappointed in one of your favorite people?
- Wanting to support your kid, but not even sure what that means anymore?
What would it feel like?
- To go to bed at night with peace of mind, knowing that everything was going to be just fine
- To have mutually respectful and loving relationships with your kids.
- To have the freedom and mental space to focus on your own life and interests
- To be able to enjoy spending time with your family
I understand what you are going through.
It’s a challenging time for everyone. Both you and your kids going through major life transitions at the same time, questioning your life’s purpose and identity. Those of us who followed attachment parenting principles are very attached to our kids and they to us, which makes the natural process of separation painful.
Many of us also have to contend with less than ideal childhoods and relationships with our own parents (who are also going through a transition to being elderly and all that entails). Watching our kids go through this stage of life is bringing up all kinds of memories from our own young adulthood.
Add to all of that some pretty major world events, including a world wide pandemic not that long ago, that disrupted our kids’ childhoods and affected them, and us, in ways that we don’t really understand yet. Plus, climate change, political upheaval, and economic uncertainty, it’s no wonder we’re all a little bit on edge.
My mission is to help the parents of emerging adults worry less so they can be calm and focused on what matters most.
