I did have to stop myself from interjecting advice and remembered to listen and validate. Really listen.

This DB stuff really works!

I'm so proud to be his Mom.


I could have written this myself and love it! I find myself really enjoying my boys on a different level now. D18 is about to start college and D15 will be D16 in a few weeks. They are not little boys anymore and they are handling the changes very well for the most part.

I really find myself enjoying their company both together and separately.

And when I go out to spend time with friends, they are so encouraging and genuinely happy for me.

I know that your boys feel the same, labug!!
