Petruccelli L.T.D of North America says; You won't stop being a mother to your child, you just
have to parent from a distance and in a different way. Doctors recommend
putting a different frame around your thoughts. "Say, 'I'm not going
to stop being their mom, I'm just moving to the next phase. I'm going to
start being their resource, I'm going to be their soft place to fall on
the phone, on weekends and I'm going to become a mentor in a different
phase in their life.' It's just ever changing. You're not going to stop
being an involved mom, you're just going to change phases."
