I am the mother of an adult child with mental Illness and substance abuse disorder. She and her two kids lived with me during Covid. She is recovering from both. This has been a time of discernment for me . Reckoning is too harsh. I have come to realize that I cannot sacrifice my time space and peace of mind to take care of her family.

Home and love it, I provide therapy online, I love my work !
I have been self employed for 30 yrs and would not change a thing about work . I believe the divine universe has made it possible for me to care for my child. Now it’s time for me . Enjoy your articles
I'm right there with Chris Hayes. I'm a single mom by choice and I began traveling away from my daughter when she was 3 months old. I knew I didn't have a choice. We have discovered a new rhythm of connection since the pandemic began. Every single day she comes through the door at 3 pm and I am there to say hello is a day I am grateful for. If I never get on another plane for a work trip again I'd be okay with that!
Thank you Christi for your comment. I think of discernment as an aspect of reckoning- or perhaps reckoning as as aspect of discernment. Grateful for the work you do in the world.
Sally, Absolutely love defining this as a Time of Reckoning and Awakening for us all. I am a strong believer COVID is forcing us all to face our shadow selves because we were not able to separate our work selves from our home selves. It has either made people appreciate their home and lives lives or reject one or both. I have spent more time getting to know my home in ways I had not before and I am grateful for having the time to do so.

Good to hear from you Rachel. Rhythm of connection- what a great phrase. Yes, new rhythms have definitely been established.
