Today Bonnie talks with Jane, mother of three—7, 10 and 12—who is a self-described “regulator” in her family. Given the role Jane had to play starting at age 7 as the oldest of three with a not-present mother and drug addicted father, the role of regulator comes naturally to her. During Covid, that role is more exhausting than ever. Now she needs to start letting go so her children can learn to regulate themselves.
