Letting Go of The Fight

If we are a parent, we can anticipate our youngsters turning against us at some point, even in normal, healthy relationships but quadruple the potential problems if toxic people are involved.

I have seen my son be desperate because his father was giving him the cold shoulder.

I believe it is normal and even healthy them to think “F##k both of you!’ for a while! and reject everything we have attempted to teach them.

I allowed myself to get to caught up in trying to protect them even when they were more than old enough to protect themselves.
