Hi fellow wanderer lost in the woods, any idea how we find our way out of here?

Yes, this is how it looks to everyone else…

It’s true that many people don’t fully come to terms with how they were treated by their mother until they become parents themselves. Faced with the responsibility of raising a child, they often find that the idea of parenting as they were parented does not bring clarity. Instead, it can make their own parents’ choices feel even harder to understand.

Grandparenting isn’t try number two for parenting. It is astonishing how many grandparents think that they are owed a place as grandparent when the relationship they have with their adult child is lacking.

The relationship you have with your adult child will of course have an effect on whether / how much access you have to your grandchildren.

When I got into the University of Michigan, earned a grad degree, and landed a great job, my mom was proud to take the credit.

But when I struggled, it instantly became “bad choices,” “outside influences,” and “you’re on your own.”

Interesting how that works…

Oh, the horror of our children having standards for how they should be treated. Times are changing, and the only ones upset about it are those who treat their own children so poorly that their children decide it hurts less to leave.

When I spend time reading through these online spaces for estranged parents, it becomes clear that much of the advice being offered actually amplifies the very issues that led to the estrangement in the first place. Repairing a broken relationship requires doing something different, taking new approaches, reflecting honestly, and changing patterns.

As a therapist who works with estranged adult children, more than half of my clients report experiencing spiritual coercion and control by their mothers. No one is saying a mother can’t be Christian. What we’re saying is that it’s not ok for a mother to pressure her child to be Christian. No one is saying a mother can’t pray or attend religious services. What we’re saying is it’s not ok for her to force her child to pray or attend religious services. No one is saying a mother can’t value a religious text. What we’re saying is it’s not ok for a mother to coerce her child to value a religious text.

Children are not religious or spiritual extensions of their parents.
