[quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have any good reading or something on how the parent-child dynamic changes when the child becomes a parent? My mom and I are struggling with this (still, 2.5 years in). I'm sure a lot of the issues are specific to our situation, but I wonder if part of it is just a process that people go through at this stage in life? FWIW, she lives across the country, sees my child weekly via Skype and 2-3 weeks a year for visits, but I can't get past my perception that she only sees me as a gateway to her grandchild now, which makes me want to limit communication further. I realize that's not a healthy reaction on my part, but am not sure what to do about it. Our relationship was decent, if fairly superficial, before my child was born. [/quote]
