Reposted from I loved my mom and always felt we were close, but I never told her the sorts of private things my daughter tells me. There was plenty Mom did not know and that I didn’t want her to know. I sensed she didn’t really want to know, either, even though she adored me.
Nothing is more precious to me than the discussions I have with my grown daughters. I consider their frequent use of me as a sounding board my crowning achievement as a parent (yep, I’m taking full credit for this one). After keeping so many secrets from my own mother, this element of our relationship has been a tremendous surprise and immensely flattering.
I share more about what I believe has made it possible in Being The Person Our Children Confide In (linked through this image in my bio.)
