Are you an adult who only sees your parents through the lens of a child? Do you sometimes forget that your mother and father are more than just your parents, but individuals who have a self beyond their role as a parent? Our parents are more than just caregivers—they are complex individuals with dreams, flaws, and histories that existed long before we were born. Recognizing their humanity fosters empathy and a deeper connection. When we see them as full people, not just “Mom” or “Dad,” we gain perspective, understanding, and the chance to build a more authentic, adult relationship with them.
