Not the Parent You Meant to Be
For the parent replaying the day against an impossible version of themselves, this session makes room for the gap between love and capacity. It gently separates running out of patience from running out of love, offering a more honest measure for the tired parent who stayed, returned, and kept caring anyway.
Warm and unhurried, with a low steady ease, the slow exhale at the end of a long day.
