"The idea behind 'Trust the other parent to be "good enough"' has been inspirational in my family's and my healing. It gives me great relief during times when I start to wonder and worry about whether or not my son's father is an adequate parent. I don't have to worry about it, because he truly is "good enough." I don't have to carry the burden of judging anyone else. I can focus more clearly now on being the best parent and friend that I can be for my son. Thanks again, Ruth for introducing me to that concept. My load is lighter now." from a parent who has taken the Three Trusts workshop This online workshop meets for 6 hours: on this Wednessday, September 6th, from 11am to 1pm, then again on Wednesday, Sept. 16th, and concluding on Wednesday, Sept. 23rd).
