Hi Neighbor!
When my grown-up kids let me know what’s going on in their lives, I automatically, internally take responsibility for real and imagined issues. This is not resulting from their thoughts or words. It is entirely self-generated guilt and I own it.
In my head I hear this guilty self-talk when they ask a question. Mostly they’re just venting. If the concern involves a relationship issue, I’ll think I didn’t provide enough guidance. With a work situation, I start ruminating afterward about whether I should have encouraged a different career path initially. In life outside my head, they’re doing fine in their professions and relationships. They just verbally vent, I listen and then they resolve their own issues. But meanwhile, I climb aboard my own fast-moving mental guilt train exploring alternate tracks I might have suggested to arrive at another destination.
