Dear @Owlunar2 I noticed a 2 in your name!
It can be very challenging finding and maintaining authenticity in our relationships. The mother daughter relationship is one of the most tested and I know your daughter has her own issues. When is it right to say how we feel and respect the power imbalances that are usually a part of parental relationships. I believe we have the right as parents to be full humans, and not just relate strictly from the role. If we forgive and forgive and never speak from our hurt, the thread between people can be stretched so that can feel we do a disservice to ourselves. Respecting the things we value, being whole with all our vulnerabilities, and still feel connected with loved ones...what a challenge is mothering.
I actually watched a super nanny vid last night, not my normal fair, but it helped me see perspective and also humour.
Great to "see" you
