No, but you're in a position to understand what this woman is going through, I guess, in a milder way. So your heart does go out there. I'm sure I get it.

Oh, man, Jordan, I am having a weirdly strong reaction to this letter. Yeah. Tell me. I don't know. It's just like, OK, look, I'm with you. I feel for her. I'm not a parent, so I don't know what this is like myself. But I can only imagine how sad and complicated it must be to have children and raise them for 18 years or more and then watch them go off and do things differently.

You know, she is in the middle of a very intense transition right now. So I get it.

It's very emotional, okay? I get it. But to be totally honest, I'm struggling with some of the assumptions in her letter. I don't blame her for having them. I'm sure a lot of parents have them. But let's just talk about a few of them. In her view, she gave everything she had to her children. She did everything for their well-being. She and her husband paid for their education.

She said she had children to extend her family, to have children who would remain close by and be with her all the way through old age. And now that they're moving away, her daughter anyway, but apparently her son soon will too, She's basically saying, hey, that wasn't the deal.

The deal was I give you everything and then you repay me by living your life in a way that satisfies me, in a way that makes me feel loved, in a way that makes me feel appreciated, in a way that makes me feel safe. Damn, yeah, that is kind of what she's saying. Look, this might be my own bias here, but I just don't think that's entirely fair or healthy. I don't know if it's right.

If the implicit deal was that our kids stay close by, then this wasn't all for their well-being. It was at least partly for her well-being. And now that they're adults, her children want to pursue their own authentic lives, their own goals. And her daughter is apparently very successful and has bought herself her own home, which is a huge accomplishment in this day and age.

That is something objectively to be very proud of. But it sounds like then she has to pay a huge price for it in the form of her mother's sadness.
