VGL, your comment resonates with me and so does the cartoon.
The question that I would ask the parents who see their son or daughter as “their child” is whether this means they see them as “child-like”. And, to the adult children, do you see yourself as a child in the context of the relationship with those people? Are there ways you could more firmly situate yourself as the adult that you are?
I’ve spent a good deal of time – basically since 2020, working through those last two questions, and because of it, I feel like I am being treated more as an adult peer, and in turn, I am able to see my six year old as a growing and changing human who eventually will be my peer as well.
