I'm glad they see it like that. Means they don't share my anxietys haven't had my awful experiences. . I must have managed to contain it, because T also contained it for me.
My kids are use to it now. They kind of laugh but deal with it.
I tell T she helped me raise my kids to be who they are. I started t when they were 11, 9 and 6. Ok was so over protective. Without t helping me work through my fears there was no way they could have gone to out of state with the high school band, religious youth group. Etc for overnights.
