Strong Women Cut The Strings Sooner

Yes, I have examples of moms who have taken this path that would probably talk to you, I'll check on this today and get back to you with options. How would you like them to contact you? My basis for this assertion is twofold.

First, after seeing thousands of people walk through this over the last twenty years it became apparent that women who went into motherhood quickly in their twenties were more ready to move forward to explore other areas of their identity, either by going back to school, switching careers, or taking on an 'extreme makeover' of who they are as a woman in some area of life.

Second, Noticing this trend our counseling practice led to several years of my own research on the subject, which will be the basis of an upcoming book, ("FastTrack to success-moving from college stress to career success" published by Revell, to be released in mid 2006). After interviewing dozens of parents of 'twenty-something' children the trend was further identified, even sadly so, by women in their mid 50's who had almost lost all of their identity to stay on as the 'mommy' to their college aged kids.
