I really identify with this, and thank you for expressing your experience and reflection so beautifully, it really moved me. I love those moments when my son (I have only one) really listens to me when I say these kinds of things. I think the listening comes from him somehow identifying that that this is not just another one of those lectures about how you're supposed to be (you probably never give those) but that it's coming from a very authentic place inside me and that I believe it to be a truth. I can tell that he's really listening and I love that, and I can also tell that we are really connecting and close in those moments as well.
