What do you do as a parent your kids don’t need you anymore. I’ve been
watching a show on Netflix called A Typical, it’s been an interesting show to watch. It’s
about a family who has a child on the spectrum and now the kids are partly
grown and the mom is trying to figure herself out now that her kids don’t need
her as much anymore. It makes me think what will I do when my kids are older
and don’t need me. They already don't need me as much as they used too. I don't need to feed them or dress them. The older two can go to school by themselves. They are my whole life! They have become my whole identity. I don’t have a career, all my friends have kids my friends age and I wonder
sometimes if they didn’t have kids would we still be friends.
How do you become your own person again? How do you know who you truly
are without your kids?
The whole concept of my kids growing up and not needing me anymore
scares me more then I’d like to admit.
A couple days ago I posted about my middle daughters anxiety and this is
one of mine. It makes me so scared I wish it didn’t.
Please share your anxiety trails. How did you overcome them? How old are
children? How have you dealt with them being less dependent on you?
