Today's guest post is from Matt Lundquist, LCSW, MSEd. Matt talks about how hard it can be to break off relationships with family members who don't have our best interests in mind. After all, we break up with abusive partners (and that can be hard in and of itself). I'd like you to read more about how estrangement can be necessary and how it's more common than you might think in this post.

This weekend, the 10 year old and I went to a she & me tea hosted by another Girl Scouts troop where we discussed the changes her body is going to go through. I was really impressed by how well it was done - they had experts in pediatrics, neurology, and women’s health talk to the kids and the adults in an inclusive and body-positive way about what to expect. I even learned a few things I didn’t know - and I’m 46 and have had 5 kids! She knew a lot because it’s been an ongoing conversation for us, but she said she learned things.

My favorite part was that they had the kids write their questions on paper in that notebook then tear the paper out and put it into a jar so that their questions would be anonymous if they were too shy to ask.

My child actually graffitied my nice dining room table and had the audacity to ask me how I knew it was her.

I know her handwriting.

No yelling or anything happened. Not necessary. I just handed her a microfiber cloth and hand sanitizer, wood cleaner, and lemon oil and asked her to clean and polish the table when she finished removing the Sharpie.

After, she apologized and said cleaning it off was a lot of work and she wouldn't do that again.

A very different experience for her than I had growing up.

And yes, the graffiti is gone as well as the stains from her good markers with no harm to the table.

The 10-year-old has been taking her art to technology. She's been exploring digital art with layers and learning how to make gradients work. Her fan art is definitely looking really good!

Anyone else think they're superwoman? Back in November, I said I'd serve on a committee - that was before my brother made his second critical hospital stay in two months (he's doing okay now) and before my mother-in-law passed away on Christmas morning.

Today, I was feeling the crunch of obligations. I sent an email resigning from the committee. It's important to me - the arts - but I need more time to heal, get my knee in better working order, homeschool, and catch up on my businesses. Girl Scouts, of course, wasn't going to go, but this is... for now.

It feels weird stepping back from something, particularly something I just stepped up for, but at the same time, I needed to.
