Coping Strategies for Dealing With Children Who Are Now Adults
Hi, All!
Some of us are now middle aged, if not older. My daughter just turned 30 and my son is 28.
Perhaps, "dealing with" isn't the best terminology. But, I couldn't thing of better terms.
It's a personal thing. My problem...
I've, of course, gone through the times of them being children. Witnessed them graduating from this or that too. We've become friends. The really becoming friends thing happened while they were in their later teens.
They're both employed and successful at what they do.
They both have their ways of doing things as well as their own lives to lead.
I have trouble letting go of them being kids. After all, they are my children.
I suppose that it's also a matter of acceptance...
I'm sure that some of you know what I mean about the letting go and acceptance parts!
Any words of wisdom about how one needs to think as their children get older as adults?
Sharing of how you feel and think would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
