Let me start with this truth bomb:

Motherhood is the only job where you’re expected to carry trauma, cook dinner, apologize for your mother’s mistakes, and still remember everyone’s sock preferences.

And if you’ve got a grown kid in therapy (like I do), you start wondering…
Am I the villain in someone else’s healing journey?

Apparently not. I asked.
And I asked again.
And then—because I’m me—I asked a third time just to be sure.

🙋‍♀️ So, Did You Talk About Me in Therapy?

Here’s the thing. My daughter goes to therapy. Not because I made her (Gen X moms don’t get to demand that), but because she’s emotionally intelligent and tired of my “just suck it up” pep talks.

After one of her sessions, I asked:

“Did you talk about me today?”

She looked at me like I’d just asked if she discussed the price of cucumbers.

“No, Mom.”

I took a beat, looked her square in the eye, and said:

“Well then… clearly I failed as a parent.”

And that’s how our Mother-Daughter Emotional Audit™ began—with sarcasm, heart, and a silent prayer that I wasn’t the main character in her therapy trauma arc.

🎉 Introducing: Mom Therapy Bingo (Yes, It’s a Thing)

So what’s a mom to do?
Laugh. Reflect. Repeat.
Preferably with wine and a downloadable worksheet.

That’s why I created a FREE printable called “Mom Therapy Bingo”—a fun way to process those slightly awkward post-therapy convos and lean into the healing (without making it weird).

You’ll find bingo squares like:

• “Mentions childhood snacks”
• “Asks if you ever talk about her in therapy”
• “Says ‘You’re too sensitive’”
• “Texts you a meme after an argument”
• “Cries but says she’s not crying”

It’s funny. It’s warm. And it just might open up a conversation you didn’t even know you needed.

✍️ Bonus: Journaling Prompts That Don’t Judge

If you’re ready to go deeper (or just don’t want to make eye contact during dinner), I’ve also created a journaling companion to help you process the big stuff:

• What did your mom do right?
• What did she miss?
• What have you carried that you’re finally ready to put down?

💬 Healing Tools for Moms (Who Use Humor as a Coping Mechanism)

Let’s be real—some of us process trauma by crying.
Some of us process it by reorganizing the spice rack.
And some of us make Bingo cards and write blogs.

Whatever your process is, I see you. And I want to share a few resources that have helped me and my daughter along the way:

❤️ Mental Health Support Links:

• NAMI – National Alliance on Mental Illness
• 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline
• BetterHelp – Therapy Made Easy
• Open Path Collective – Affordable Counseling
• Therapy for Black Girls

You don’t have to go it alone. And you don’t have to be perfect to be worthy of healing.

💖 Final Thoughts from One Healing Mama to Another

If your child is in therapy, that’s not a failure.
It’s a family success story in progress.

And if they never talk about you?
Well… you either nailed it, or they’re saving you for season two.

Either way, download the bingo card. Write a little. Laugh a lot.
Because breaking cycles can be beautiful—even when it’s messy.

With wine, wisdom, and warm sarcasm,
