[quote=Anonymous]Post college: what has been hard was the year or two after college, during COVID, for both my kids. Everyone eventually found a job that paid well enough, a career trajectory, a decent place to live, a friend group. But both kids switched jobs a couple of times, moved a couple of times, went through periods where they were really lonely and down and would call us and be really sad and there was very little we could do to help them. We were supportive but ultimately there were things they had to go through that we couldn’t do for them. In retrospect I was way too enmeshed and a good therapist helped me to see that they were and are building their lives and we are to some extent bystanders. But it has been hard. [/quote]
