Excellent post and thought, I really appreciate you sharing this here.
This jumped out at me:
Ahhh that mommy voice ... I've been battling that myself while Oldest is going through more health issues. After several weeks I'm finally back to biting my tongue on my well-intentioned "advice." It doesn't matter anyway, she's gonna do what she's gonna do. I'm keeping it inside, or better yet, learning to kill the mommy caretaking thoughts before even get too far. It's not my problem.
Thank you!
