When a mother wants to be the only thing that matters in her child’s life, anyone else her child loves becomes a threat to her. This is the mom who will tolerate no rivals. . . . A  jealous mom sees things only from her limited and shortsighted perspective. She looks out for her own interests. This becomes priority number one. Her actions are driven by selfish ambition and conceit.

Contrary to a popular movie, it is not funny when a child fails to launch, but in today’s culture it happens for many reasons. A mother can encourage her child towards maturity by clear communication, working with the child to make plans for gradually taking on increasing responsibilities and being firm with the necessary negative consequences of failure to fulfill responsibilities.

I want you to know "letting go" is anything but accidental, and we are definitely not dropping our children on their heads!  There is a lot of work to be done to prepare your heart and your child's for the time they will leave your care.
