Dear Reader;
Estrangement between adult children and their parents seems to be reaching a new high. The Covid debacle drove deep wedges into many families, and add to that heightened themes of gender confusion and general woke-ness, and we seem to be living a generational divide that has taken many loving parents by surprise.
Parents who thought they did everything they could, who may have been rebels themselves in their own youth and who deeply care about their kids, are being shut out of their children’s lives. It is a rift which leaves no one happy.
If this is something you may be experiencing in your family, I recommend the wonderful Tina Gilbertson who gently and thoroughly walks parents through an understanding of what may have happened, and how to heal. She speaks with a calm and understanding voice in times of heartbreak and misunderstanding.
From my own guides, the following transmission offers guidance received for a mother who caught a glimpse of her distant daughter, and discovered an invitation to return to love.
A PIECE OF YOU Today perhaps for the first time you saw yourself in her eyes and perhaps then you understood her a little better recognized how inseparable is your fear recognized that a piece of her is in you and a piece of you is in her and as such you are made of one another and can never be lost from the self in her soul She knows you better than you know yourself but she cannot show you she cannot tell you until in your deepest heart you are ready to hear that her distance from you is your distance from yourself Now do not be mistaken as she has her own sparkling heart-breaking path and this you cannot walk for her But choose now to spend time with your guilt and your despair for that which you do for you is a gift of Grace for her This work is yours to find in your own silence Your love? Let it free flow Practice detaching love from expectation and find joy in the opportunity to feel what you feel for her Love does not hurt but only your fear to lose it So let Love be your own within you and in the radiance you share
The love you allow in you may sooner find the very same song within her as you meet you making all the space in the world for all the parts and pieces of her that are absolutely new For of course she is born a free and absolute being and when she travels far in a strange land she owes nothing but her own truth to you Remember in all your mistakes you have done no wrong for there is nothing beyond the possibility of healing The soothing of your heart will arrive on the winds of trust Save some love for yourself There is plenty to share much love, Adi
