Who Am I as a Mother, Over Time?
Every stage of our child's life asks us to become someone new.
The mother of a newborn has one job: presence. Total, consuming, obliterating
presence. There is almost nothing left of the individual woman inside it, and for a
time, that is appropriate.
Then something shifts. The child begins to separate. The mother who was needed
for survival is now needed differently. Less as the source of all things. More as a
steady point of return.
Then the child becomes a teenager, and the role shifts again. The mother who held
everything close is asked to hold it with open hands. To be available without
hovering. To allow mistakes that are painful to watch.
And then adulthood arrives, and everything renegotiates again. The power dynamic,
the communication, the need, the expectation, the grief of what we imagined it
would look like and what it actually is.
Each of these transitions asks a mother to process the loss of a version of herself she
has lived inside fully. And the loss of what she dreamed things would be.
Each is a real loss. It deserves to be honored as one.
Many of the wounds in the mother-child relationship live at these transition points. A
mother who did not have support through her own evolution could not always guide
her child through theirs. There is also the loss of ourselves in one season without the
ability or guidance to find our way into the next.
Understanding who we have been, who we were asked to become, and who we are
now as mothers is how we find our way back to the True Self that has been there
beneath all of it.
It is the path of the healing practice.
Where are you at along this path today?
