What new titles should I use? "Updates from the US"? "Missives from America"? I don't know if this will be a series... I'm just writing and speaking on what we're living with right now in the United States and what I'm doing to cope. Thank you for listening in!

The American people are under assault by the incoming regime. People here are being targeted, having rights stripped, and facing further persecution.

I am a mother. I want you to know how this is impacting my family.

Join me in resisting this aggression.

By the time your kids are seventeen, you're feeling like a pretty seasoned parent, right? Kind of got most things down pat.

And then you're thrown into new territory as your child becomes an adult and suddenly we are navigating new situations, scenarios, boundaries, expectations, and realities.

It can be disarming and quickly become a negative situation for everyone involved. It takes a ton of patience, self-exploration, and work to make it through this period with your relationship intact.

Join me as I explore the unique challenges of parenting a young adult, and learn from some mistakes I made. We can all grow and learn together.
