I love this. I've had some moments as Mimi to listen to my grands fears and stressors and have even had a few "DTM" moments with them. (Nothing risky, you understand.) I have also had several moments with students that left me in tears because I felt useless to help. The world is so rough, and any help you can get with children, relationships, and even dinner is such a blessing!

Thanks for this Serena. Your email has been sitting unopened in my inbox for a while as I have been so behind with work and this evening I have been working through the backlog and read your email. Perfect timing as I was struggling to decide just this afternoon would you believe, if I did the right thing by taking my 13-year-old daughter to therapy which she asked for and is embracing. The therapist is distant with me, understandably but as long as my daughter is feeling helped, I am ok with that. But the protective part of me worries that we found the right person and if she is good for my daughter. It is unchartered territory and I felt so conflicted today until I read your email. Thank you so much for what you shared.
