this!

Some of us grew up with the unwritten rule that the adult is always right, no matter how loud, unfair, or reactive they were in the heat of the moment. We learned that authority meant never having to say you're sorry, leaving us to swallow our own confusion and hurt just to keep the peace.

When you carry that old blueprint into your own home, saying "I was wrong" feels terrifying. It feels like you are stripping away your own armor and giving up your control.

But true authority doesn't survive on the illusion of perfection.

When you lose your temper, micromanage a situation out of anxiety, or realize a rule you set years ago was actually unfair, stepping into that mess and owning it changes everything. Walking up to your child and saying, "I was exhausted, I reacted poorly, and that wasn't your fault," doesn't make you look weak. It makes you look safe.

They don't need a flawless leader who never slips up. They need a real, breathing human being who models how to clean up a mess when things get fractured.

It takes a lot of humility to look at a child and hand them an apology without any excuses attached to it. But every time you do, you prove to them that their reality matters, and you build a bridge of trust that can hold the weight of just about anything. ❤️

For many adults, midlife is a time of competing responsibilities: raising children, helping parents and managing careers, all while confronting their own aging.
Yet psychologists increasingly see these years not as a period of crisis or decline but one of growth and opportunity.

Margie Lachman, PhD, author of Primetime: A New Vision for Midlife, discusses the science of midlife, including why people often become more confident and resilient in middle age, how caring for others can be both stressful and rewarding, and why the choices we make in our 40s and 50s can have an outsized impact on our health and cognitive functioning later in life.

Triggered by child

Their brain + your brain = escalation

Two disregulated ppl can't help each other to have a regulated moment.
If you feel it in your body, take a breath, calm yourself if you can, make time, try and ground yourself.

City life has definitely brought my anxiety back up on some days.
Yes I have the tools and I do use them. I guess I need to work more on the physical side. The whole it's in my chest feeling has been coming for me.

I really miss long walks in the woods on the property. Or just being able to go outside without interacting with humans. My gardens. I have a balcony garden and a community garden but it's really not the same. Some days it is good though. I do get out on trails and stuff.

For me breath work is kinda harder to use than other tools. I've managed to combine that and meditation into my Yoga. I guess it's not working for me as much as it once did. 🤦‍♀️
Re-downloaded some apps to help me out.

I'm a legit mouth breather😹😢 because of dental work I didn't get as a child. So that's part of why I really despised breath work when I first was introduced to it. I'm ok with smaller tools like box breathing.

Any tips that have helped you?

Haven't been posting much. So thought I'd give a little mental health update.

Hope everyone has been doing well! 🖤
