6.12.16 Fine Line



It's such a fine line, learning to transition gradually from taking care of our grown offspring ... to loving and caring about them, but gradually instilling a more reciprocal relationship of greater distance and respect and knowing . 

And how odd, that when we manage to let go of indulging in relationship-skewing worry or care-taking, or unintended ways of putting ourselves aside in the equation, purportedly for them , and instead including our selves and preferences , while keeping a clean cool discrete boundary of low expectation , that they often begin to respect and experience more interest in getting to know really who we each are.
