I ask you to bear with me through this share. I am just coming to make sense of something in my own mind, that I wanted to share with you, but it’s not fully formed yet. So much of our mothering seems to be predicated on the success or wellness of the child. I think this is a difficult setup though, because what I see and have felt is that if something happens to your child whether minor or major, the first guilt, the first questions are about the parents. Or in the opposite, when a child achieves something awesome, a parent feels proud of themselves in how they’ve raised their child.
