This is a little note for all you moms of bigs out there struggling right now.
Your kid is a mess and it's keeping you up at night.
And there's no fixing any of it right now.
Or your relationship with your kid is on really bumpy ground and you are not quite sure how to get your footing back.
I thought for sure that this was going to be the easiest part of being a mom, once they were able to get themselves dressed, make themselves food (even if it's just mac & cheese from a box) and even make their own money.
But things are harder in so many ways now.
Their problems are big.
They are unsolvable by me.
It's really rough out there right now for so many of them financially, relationally, politically, emotionally, spiritually, all of it.
And that means it's rough on our mom hearts.
Like achy-breaky rough!
I've been a little dysregulated the past few weeks with all of it and I'm just doing the best I can trying to love myself and them.
So this post is to remind you that there is a random mom on a blue couch somewhere thinking about all the moms out there just like me who are white-knuckling it and praying their guts out for those kids we have loved for their whole lives.
We are not alone! We are in this together!
