We hope it will be a joyful one for you and your families. As we know well, our relationships with our moms can run the emotional gamut over the lifespan.

Another day, another misdiagnosis of a disorder that plagues so many women. It's common for symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) to be overlooked or "explained away" by professionals as depression, anxiety, or overwhelm when it shows up in women. Chances are, if you suspect you have this diagnosis, it's gone undiagnosed since you were little.

For some, back-to-school simply means the kiddos are heading back to the classroom. But for others, it may mean that your kid (or kiddos) is launching. Where they're headed (college, job, military, gap year, or simply moving out of the family home), isn't as important as the fact that your kid-centric life is now coming to a seemingly abrupt end. The empty nest can be an emotional time of reflection and significant change.

Got trauma? You, too? We've all had some. Question is, have you dealt with yours effectively? Or, have you tried different approaches and modalities to heal from trauma which either don't help or even make matters worse? So many of us tell ourselves that our trauma doesn't "count" because there's always someone with a more tragic tale. This attitude does so much to increase our stress and impede our healing. It can prevent us from getting the help we need. Dr. Elizabeth Stanley gets all of this and so much more.

Both of us have experienced this unceremonious and cruel "dumping" by people we thought were close, dear friends. If you have experienced this, you know how confusing and painful it can be.

According to Nguyen, it's because your "...2023-02-1758 minSisters Cracking UpWhen Your Grown Kids Disappoint You with Dr. Jane AdamsIf we're being honest, this happens to all parents at one point or another: Our grown kids disappoint us. But it remains one of the toughest things to talk about openly as we still believe (somewhere deep inside) that the poor/unpopular decisions our kids make reflects badly on who we are as parents. Whether we judge ourselves for their choices -- or we fear being judged by others -- we often remain selective about what we share when our grown kids make choices we don't like. And why do we do this? According to Dr. Jane...2023-01-3044 minSisters Cracking UpMummy was a Secret Drinker with Clare PooleyDry January is here!

If anyone knows shopping, it's Trae. If anyone can actually be a shopping "guru," it's also Trae. (It's no wonder she's made over a thousand TV appearances to talk about the tricks of the trade.) The holidays are fraught with so many decisions and gift-giving is one of the big ones. It's a fact that most of us need to be mindful of what we're spending and on whom.

Did you often feel unseen or unheard by those who raised you? Did you take on adult responsibilities or roles as a way to compensate for your parent's behavior? If so, you may still be challenged by lingering feelings of anger, betrayal, or abandonment. Dr. Lindsay Gibson had a radical thought in her decades of doing psychotherapy: Perhaps some of her clients weren't the ones who needed therapy -- it was their parent(s) that did!

Relationships with Abby RodmanBeware Of The Empathic NarcissistIs there such a thing as an empathic narcissist? I believe there is. Not because of what it means to be a narcissist, but because of what it means to be empathic. What evokes empathy in each of us is complex, singular, and multi-layered. If you suspect someone close to you is an empathic narcissist, pay close attention to what garners their empathy. If it’s usually big picture empathy like sick kids or abandoned puppies, you may be right. Because those are empathic no-brainers. No heavy lifting there.

It intimates that whatever we’re going through, we’re going to come out on the other side of it. Whatever it is will eventually be in our rearview. It also encapsulates what it means to be alive. If we’re breathing, we’re going through something, we’re processing something. As you read this, you’re going through something. I am, too. In this age of social media masking and masquerading, the recognition that everyone is GTS is more important than ever. And we can’t be...2018-08-2311 min
Relationships with Abby RodmanGaslighting: It's Really A ThingGaslighting is a psychological term that refers to one partner’s efforts to undermine the other’s grasp on reality in order to gain control. This is done by systematically making the victim feel like whatever the circumstances, her (or his) version of events is skewed, misconstrued, or imagined. Gaslighting makes you forfeit your own truth. Self-doubt takes over because you no longer rely on your reality. You lose touch with who you once were or thought you were — because everything is hazy now. You desperately want the someone closest to you to validate your feelings, beliefs, and ex...2017-08-2809 min
Relationships with Abby RodmanWhen It Comes To Kids, Divorce Isn't The ProblemEven though divorce sucks, it isn’t what screws up your kids. Listen, a can of paint is just a can of paint until you slap it on a wall. And an unhappy marriage is just an unfortunate circumstance until you handle it poorly. Because a divorce (or even an agreement to stay in an unhappy union) done maturely, done with your children’s future emotional and relational health in mind, can really be okay for them.

Relationships with Abby RodmanTeach Your Kids This One Thing For SuccessTeaching kids personal responsibility starts at home. There’s a meme floating around that outlines things kids need to hear from their parents.

Even if — after all your pleading — your partner agrees to hang out in the relationship a while longer, it’s only a matter of time before he’ll grow tired of the charade.
