This is an amazing podcast. I found it very educational, listening to all episodes, even the episodes that did not apply to me. This podcast dives into a deeper understanding of our adult children’s feelings. As parents, it is easy to look at them, but more difficult to look at ourselves and to do the self work and heal and to truly look at our ourselves as parents . One of my favorite quotes I took away from this podcast that helped to give me a better understanding was…. “ My intentions, do not get to override the impact that my parenting had on my child.” This week I will meet with my adult daughter after a lot of self work and reflection, healing and true, understanding of her feelings. Hoping to reconnect and build a new. I encourage anyone who is going through estrangement whether you are a mother or a Father to listen to this podcast. Open your heart and mind and “Really listen” As parents we have gone through our own trauma as children at 56 I am newly diagnosed with ADHD they think I may have had this going on since the age of seven or eight I’m sure being not diagnosed as a child, affected my parenting. However That is NOT an excuse , . By not healing, our inner trauma , and then starting our own family , Sometimes that trauma most times Spills out onto our children. While, not intentional This happens. It is our job to heal our inner child do the work and take accountability for how it affected our children. In order to tr to fix the relationship with our adult child. Therapy/self work is the answer. Heal yourself and you may be able to heal your relationship and help healing in your adult child. Don’t be afraid. You don’t have to be right. Look into your heart and take accountability. Love your child and yourself enough to do the hard work that is necessary to find healing. Please wish me luck on my journey to reconciliation . Nothing but love to all.
