The Challenge of Growing Up and Letting Go

Growing up and letting go… sounds a bit like an after school special title doesn’t it? Regardless of what it sounds like it is in fact what I am currently struggling with. It seems like it wasn’t that long ago when my boys were just little kids and now I am coming face to face with the reality that my little boys aren’t little anymore. They will be 16 this year, and to be quite honest I’m scared shitless about it. I have openly admitted in the past that I am very protective of my children, probably more so than most mothers because of what happened to my son Gage. Having a child almost die is one of the worst experiences I have ever gone through. After that I have just dreaded even the possibility of something else happening to any of my children. This episode covers my struggles with letting go as my kids get older. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
