Often our offspring suddenly appear distant or not eager for our company. We feel slighted; we consult therapists and counselors and discuss our state of mind on social media sites.
Our concerns, however, can be a tempest in a teapot. Parents may be making a big deal over what’s really a normal developmental stage. “Sometimes a kid is just sending the message, ‘I do like you, but I don’t want to be attached like glue’". "A parent shouldn’t interpret that as a sign of enmity.”
Either you, or I, missed the point of the thread.
My kids are fine-- this country is not.
