Here’s another installment in ongoing story of me facing challenges of parenthood. My daughter, a recently graduate from high school, set out with a group of girlfriends on a 3-month cross country expedition. A post high school dream: to travel across country with no agenda and no expectations other than to experience life as it unfolds.

It might sound like a great idea, and as her mom, I might sound calm to you now as I tell you about this trip, but believe me, I didn’t start there.

It all began after a long, arduous decision process to delay her entrance to college. I of course wanted her to benefit from opportunities college affords, but she said she needed a break from academic rigors and wanted some time to “find herself”.

In theory, I agreed with her. A lot of young people take time off between high school and college; yet, I still found myself attached to wanting her somewhere “safe” and getting on with business of taking her place in world. Finally, after much debate and internal process, I was able to let go and support idea of her taking time to begin her adulthood. And truthfully, deep down, I knew it could be a life changing opportunity for her.

So, on coattails of college delay decision she decided to go on road trip. When she left I got afraid. Taking a year off is one thing, but going on a risky trip with limited resources without a plan is another!
