“An infinity of ways to respond to absurd circumstances”. You nailed it. I am navigating with both a daughter who started this at 18 and a niece who is now at 26, embracing this ideology. How to show up, love, embrace yet try to remain a light house and holder of a life vest ready to throw it when they will accept it as they swim out to sea convinced they know what they are doing is so challenging.

What I like about your post is that you don’t fall into the trap which some parents of desistors do of presenting yourselves as having all the answers and having got it right. Some posts like this come across as smug and self-congratulatory, which you do not. You’ve muddled through like the rest of us and shared what you did. Well done and thanks for posting it so thoughtfully.
