Control often gets mistaken for strength in families. But one of the greatest tests of strength is tolerating somebody else’s autonomy. Follow me. Then comment UPSPIRAL and I’ll send you more information about my programs. You can also click the link in my bio. Parents are supposed to exercise authority when children are young. But healthy parenting contains a strange long-term assignment: Gradually surrender that authority. The child becomes an adult. They develop their own values. They make decisions you wouldn’t make. They build a life you couldn’t have designed for them. And eventually love has to survive the loss of control. Advice can remain. Wisdom can remain. Connection can deepen. But autonomy has to belong to the adult child. Perhaps one of the greatest achievements of parenthood is raising someone strong enough to become fully themselves, then becoming secure enough to let them. #Fatherhood #FamilyDynamics #GenerationalTrauma #Parenting #UpSpiral
