Yes it is good. I’m listening to it – free on Spotify if you have premium. That and the teenagers untangled podcast are really helping. It was on one of these I think that I heard really good advice tat I am constantly telling myself.. is the mess so important to me that it is worth sacrificing our relationship over. If yes then fair enough it’s the gamble we take, but actually for me it’s not. And I have to say that has worked this last week. The eldest now has a gf and tidies his room A LOT now. But the youngest…still awful but my head is better! Screens mind you… that is another massive battle isn’t it!
I’ve realised recently though that I am scared my boys will leave home and never want to see me again because I’m making life miserable. I am hearing their dad’s voice telling me to shut up, get over myself, that I’m over tired, over reacting. I guess I’m now thinking I’m not likeable and they will see it soon. (Sorry bit deep! But do others have this?)
