I write to work through and make sense of the tough parenting moments. Sometimes these are patterned, repetitive scenarios that feel unavoidable. I know that when something is challenging and uncomfortable for me, you too may be experiencing something similar. I share these stories as a way to encourage myself and you. We’re not alone. Parenting brings up anything we haven’t worked through and healed in ourselves. I hope you find these experiences supportive.
