It's just a question. I will say, despite everything I just said, I do understand her anxiety about who's going to look out for us in our older age. That is a valid fear, and all aging parents deserve attention and support, obviously. But I'm with you. She has a lot of beliefs and judgments wrapped up in that fear.

You're getting into something that I'm now thinking about the more we talk about this letter. I wonder if their daughter's move to another state was actually a really important move for her. I'm secretly harboring the same suspicion. I'm speculating. I could totally be wrong. And our friend here might not enjoy hearing this very much.

But given this view of parenting, you know, I do all this for you and then you live the rest of your life the way I want for me. I guess I wonder how their daughter feels about that, has felt about that her whole life. And I do wonder if moving states was a way to create perhaps some healthy distance from her parents to assert herself a little bit.

Like you said, Jordan, she is individuating and maybe rewriting this arrangement in addition to the fact that housing is more affordable. Honestly, I would probably do the same. And this grief that mom feels, there might be a few different strands in there. I think it's possible that she's not just grieving the relationship with her kids and this life phase.

She might also be grieving the ability to dictate her children's lives. Or maybe another way to put it, she might be grieving the loss of the easiest strategy to avoid her own loneliness, her anxiety, her fear, which was ensuring that her children she created always stay close.
