37. When the Ones You Show Up For Don’t Show Up for You.


I show up every day for my children, and I always have.

So why is it that our children don’t show up for us? In fact, they seem to try to tear me down. For what reason?

What happened to the communication where we could sit down and explain what the problem is?

Social media tantrums have become the norm these days, with supposed adults airing all their dirty laundry without realising the long-term effects of their actions.

You try every day. You keep trying. But sometimes, it feels like it’s never enough.

The let down is so real.

The frustration is so real.

The sadness is so real.

I’m a lone parent navigating life with two teenage girls who hit puberty right in the middle of the Pandemic.

It’s been a wild ride, but somehow, we’re making it through together.
