Of all the skills required to reclaim your life and sanity after an estrangement, self-compassion is the most key.


Yet, so many parents, moms in particular, struggle with acquiring it.

Here are some of the most common obstacles:


1) You believe you're supposed to suffer if your child is mad at you or rejecting of you


2) Your own childhood traumas left you with a very self-critical voice


3) Your view of parenting is that you should always keep trying and you believe that self-compassion is a form of not trying


4) You believe that self-compassion means you're not taking enough responsibility


5) You're so used to your self-critical voice that it's hard to even know that it's there.

The best part about Drive Mad is that success depends more on control than pure speed. Rushing usually leads to disaster, which makes every completed level feel earned instead of accidental.
