We are complex enough beings to experience multiple emotions at once, and as parents of teens - and oftentimes, also caregiving for aging parents - two of those emotions that we're constantly balancing are gratitude and grief. Gratitude and grief coexist because parents are holding two timelines at once: the past version of the relationship that worked, and the future version that has not fully revealed itself yet. This dialectic is a clear sign of reorganization. Also - my always fun hot take on why we should let our teens have socials ***disclaimer - it does involve our participation too!
