“Greater control” hits the nail on the head for me. I love my son with all of my heart and for always! Unconditional love or got his back no matter what choices he makes. I’ve learned/accepted over the past ten years that as a parent, now that he’s a grown man, that he needs to independently problem solve his actions/+or- consequences. Of course I will listen and offer suggestions but ultimately he needs to “own” his life decisions & reactions. I’ve realized that I can’t take away life’s consequences (negative) but will always offer mamas cheerleading support! My suggestions will help him create his own “mental health toolbox! I wish I could have had the 7 strategies as a reference. Thank you so much for your articles.

This article is wonderful at helping me realised that my constant worries about my daughter cannot help her feel better and it’s harming my mental and physical health. It is normal to care about the people that we love, but not for the price of our own depression or personal illness. We have to look after ourselves before we can look after others.

Thank you for this article. I worry myself sick over my loved ones and as I sit here at 11pm crying and worried about my brother who haven’t heard from in months and no one can locate, I find myself relating to this article. I will put all of this to use. THANK YOU
