Raising teenagers can be a challenging and rewarding experience. It's common to find yourself reflecting on your own teenage years and how they differ from your children's experiences. As a single parent, it's important to navigate the complexities of co-parenting while also being a supportive and guiding presence for your teenagers. It's great that you value the independence and decision-making abilities of your children, allowing them to make their own choices. As you continue on this journey, remember the advice from your mother about not everyone being a starring person in your life. Keep in mind the importance of self-care, especially in the face of personal challenges such as losing a loved one and going through a divorce. Your resilience and growth will also serve as valuable lessons for your teenagers as they navigate their own paths.
