Is Guilt Quietly Parenting Your Teenager?
Most moms don't realize how many of their parenting decisions are driven by guilt. "I yelled yesterday, so I should let this go." "I've been working too much, so I need to make it up to them." "They're upset... maybe I should back off." It feels loving. It feels responsible. But what if guilt is actually keeping you stuck?
