Increased time at home with my teenage children started off, for me, fun and cozy. Soon it was clear my kids didn’t feel the same way. I couldn’t blame them. At the peak of one’s independence seeking phase it's not right to be home with parents all the time, not right to be doing school in front of parents’ prying eyes. None of it was right. The not-rightness continued to expand as the months marched on. I was on edge, split open, ultra-sensitive, at the mercy of the energies surging through me. I started off okay but as I felt less and less okay, I knew what I needed to do.
