Chosen

Kristine Binder

My therapist asked me a question recently that stopped me in my tracks. “What if you started seeing yourself through the eyes of the people who appreciate you, rather than through the eyes of the people whose approval you’ve been trying to win?”
Well, damn…..
Because if I’m being truthful, I have spent a good portion of my life trying to be enough for people who don’t always see me that way. And nowhere has that been more complicated than in motherhood.
I have five adult children. Five people I love more than I could ever adequately put into words. Five people I spent decades raising, worrying about, advocating for, celebrating, and occasionally wanting to sell to the circus.
And now they’re adults. Which, by the way, nobody really prepares you for. We spend years learning how to be mothers. We read the books, make the appointments, pack the lunches, remember the birthdays, and sit through the games, concerts, conferences, and performances. We lose sleep over fevers, friendships, heartbreaks, and decisions that aren’t ours to make. We become experts in anticipating what everyone needs, sometimes before they even know they need it. And somewhere along the way, we forget to ask ourselves what WE need.
Then one day, the children grow up. They build lives, find partners, establish traditions and routines that don’t necessarily include us, and make decisions without asking our opinions. Which is exactly what we raised them to do. And we are proud. So incredibly proud. But there’s a strange grief that comes with raising independent adults. You spend years being essential to someone’s everyday life, and suddenly you’re optional. Nobody tells you how to navigate that. Nobody tells you how to stop measuring your worth by how often the phone rings, how often you get a text, whether you’re invited, or whether someone chooses to spend time with you. And nobody tells you how much it can hurt to realize that the people you would choose first every single time might not always choose you at all.
I’ve had this conversation with so many women, often in hushed tones, as though we’re confessing some terrible maternal sin. We talk about feeling left out, unappreciated, or unsure of where we fit in our adult children’s lives. We admit that sometimes we’re lonely, sometimes we’re hurt, and sometimes we’d just like someone to text or, god forbid….. make a phone call…… because they actually WANT to talk to us, not because they need the family Netflix password. And then, almost inevitably, we feel guilty for saying any of it. Because somewhere along the way, women were handed the ridiculous expectation that good mothers should be endlessly giving, endlessly available, and endlessly grateful for whatever scraps of attention come our way. We’re supposed to be thrilled that our children are independent, never mind that independence occasionally feels like we’ve been laid off from a job we worked around the clock for decades. No severance package, no retirement party, and apparently no exit interview.
And heaven forbid we admit that we want something for ourselves…. that we want to be included, appreciated, or even chosen. Somehow, wanting a life outside of motherhood is still treated as selfish, while sacrificing every bit of ourselves is practically a competitive sport. We’ve been conditioned to believe that a good mother puts herself last. And after decades of doing exactly that, we’re supposed to magically know how to put ourselves first without feeling guilty. I’d love to know who came up with this arrangement because I’d like a word.
I have spent years examining my mistakes, apologizing for things I wish I had done differently, and trying to repair relationships complicated by divorce, changing family dynamics, and the simple fact that we’re all human. I believe in accountability and growth. I believe we can acknowledge the ways we’ve hurt people without allowing those mistakes to become our entire identity. But I’m beginning to understand that there is a difference between taking responsibility for your past and spending the rest of your life apologizing and trying to earn forgiveness. There is an enormous difference between loving someone and needing their approval to feel worthy of love. And at some point, continuing to audition for a role you’ve already spent decades playing becomes exhausting.
I think that’s where I find myself these days. Trying to figure out how to be the mother of adults without losing myself in the process. Learning when to reach out and when to give space, when to offer advice and when to keep my mouth shut. (That last one remains a work in progress!) And perhaps most importantly, trying to understand that their choices are not necessarily a reflection of my worth. I can know all of this intellectually and still feel hurt when I’m not included or when my efforts seem to go unnoticed/unacknowledged. Knowing something and actually living it are two very different things. Apparently, at sixty, there are still plenty of lessons left to learn.
Because here’s the thing. There are people in my life who genuinely enjoy my company. People who invite me places, laugh at my ridiculous stories, appreciate my kindness, my humor, my occasionally inappropriate commentary, and my ability to show up with snacks, flowers, or whatever else might make someone’s day a little better. There are friends who choose me, colleagues who appreciate me, and former students who remember me. People who see the good in me without requiring a dissertation on everything I’ve ever done wrong. And yet, how often do I overlook all of that because I’m focused on the approval I haven’t received? How many wonderful moments have I diminished because I was thinking about who wasn’t there? Too many, I’m afraid.
Maybe that’s the lesson I’m supposed to be learning in this season. Not how to make people choose me, but how to stop abandoning myself while waiting for them. For nearly sixty years, I’ve been somebody’s daughter, sister, wife, mother, teacher, friend, caregiver, and problem solver. I’ve spent a lifetime making sure everyone else had what they needed, often at the expense of figuring out what I needed. And now, with my children grown, no partner and both of my parents gone, I’m finding myself in a place I never anticipated. For the first time in my adult life, there isn’t someone who depends on me in quite the same way. There is freedom in that, certainly, but there is also a loneliness that I don’t think we talk about nearly enough.
I’m learning to ask myself questions that once seemed almost selfish. What do I want to do today? Where do I want to go? What would make ME happy? Not what would make me useful, or what would make someone proud of me, or what might earn me an invitation or a little more affection. Just what would bring me joy. Maybe it’s taking a long walk with no particular destination. Maybe it’s eating exactly what I want without worrying about anyone else’s preferences. Maybe it’s spending an entire afternoon reading, needlepointing, or doing absolutely nothing productive. Imagine that. A woman who spent decades taking care of everyone else deciding that her own happiness deserves a place on the calendar. Revolutionary stuff, right?
And none of this means I love my children any less. I will always be their mother. I will always celebrate their successes, worry when life gets hard, and hope they know there’s always a safe place to land with me. But I also want relationships with them that grow because we enjoy each other, not because I am constantly trying to prove that I deserve a place. I want to know them as adults, and I want them to know me as a person, not simply as the woman who raised them. I want to laugh with them, share experiences, make new memories, and build something different from the relationships we had when they were little. And I want to leave room for those relationships to evolve, even when that evolution doesn’t happen on my timeline ……which, for the record, would probably be yesterday.
I’m beginning to realize that I can love them fiercely without chasing them. I can leave the door open without standing in the doorway waiting. I can acknowledge the hurt without making it the center of my life. And I can be proud of the mother I’ve been while still becoming the woman I want to be. Maybe that’s what this next chapter is really about. Learning that I don’t have to audition for a place in anyone’s life. Learning that being needed and being loved are not the same thing. Learning that my worth didn’t disappear when my children stopped needing me to manage their everyday lives. And learning to look at myself through the eyes of the people who already see something wonderful in me, including, eventually, my own.
I’m still figuring it out. Some days are easier than others. Some days the hurt gets the better of me, and I find myself wondering what I could do differently to be more lovable, more appreciated, more included. I can recognize that I have a full and beautiful life and still wish certain people were more present in it. Those feelings can coexist. Grief and joy have been sharing space in my life for a while now, and apparently they’re making room for a few more complicated emotions. But I’m getting better at recognizing when I’m allowing someone else’s choices to determine how I feel about myself. And I’m reminding myself that I am allowed to have a beautiful, full, joyful life even when some of the relationships I treasure aren’t what I wish they were.
Perhaps the most important thing I’m learning is that I don’t have to stop loving anyone to start loving myself. I don’t have to become harder, colder, or less available. I can remain the person who loves deeply, shows up, remembers the little things, and believes in the importance of family. But I can also extend some of that same tenderness, patience, and generosity to myself. After all, I’ve spent a lifetime teaching my children that they are worthy of love simply because of who they are. Maybe it’s time I started believing that about myself.
And maybe it’s time we stopped treating mothers who want something for themselves as though they’ve violated some sacred oath of self-sacrifice. We chose to be mothers and raise humans, we did not sign up for a lifelong obligation to erase ourselves.
So I’m returning to that question. What if I started seeing myself through the eyes of the people who appreciate me instead of the people whose approval I’ve been trying to win? What if I stopped keeping score of the invitations I didn’t receive and started appreciating the ones I did? What if I stopped wondering why someone didn’t choose me and started paying attention to all the people who do? And what if, after all these years of putting everyone else first, I finally gave myself permission to build a life that I love, regardless of who decides to be part of it?
I don’t have all the answers. But I do know that motherhood doesn’t end when our children grow up. It evolves, and so must we. Maybe this next season isn’t about doing more, trying harder, or proving our worth. Maybe it’s about trusting that the love we’ve given matters, even when it isn’t acknowledged in the ways we’d hoped. Maybe it’s about finding joy in being a mother without allowing motherhood to be the only thing that defines us. And maybe, after all these years of choosing everyone else, it’s time to choose ourselves, too. Not instead of them, but alongside them. Because wanting to be loved, appreciated, and included doesn’t make us needy. It makes us human. And wanting a life of our own doesn’t make us selfish. It makes us women who finally understand that we matter, too.

Complicated

Kristine Binder

I recently found a necklace after my mom passed. I was drawn to its simplicity and felt comfort in wearing it, though I could not explain why it felt different or where it even came from. I put it on and have not taken it off since. Lately, I catch myself reaching for it when I am anxious, twisting it between my fingers without even thinking, and I did not really understand why.
Today, on Mother’s Day, I was looking through old photos and found one of my mom and me on my First Communion day. And there it was. The necklace. I do not remember the necklace at all, but I remember the dress vividly because my mom made it for me. I remember how proud I was to wear something she created with her own hands. Proud that my mom made it just for me. Funny that I found that photo today. Mother’s Day. 
Mother’s Day has never been an easy day for me. Not as a daughter. Not as a mother. And now, especially not without my mom here. I think there is this expectation that Mother’s Day is supposed to feel soft and warm and easy. Beautiful cards. Perfect brunches. Matching smiles in photos. Everyone calling their mom their “best friend.” And if that is your story, I genuinely love that for you. But it has never quite been mine.
I did not have the quintessential mother-daughter relationship. My relationship with my mom was complicated. Layered. Heavy at times. Beautiful at times too. I loved my mother deeply. Fiercely. I admired her more than I can even explain. She was brilliant, accomplished, talented, respected, and capable of making absolutely anything feel elegant and intentional. She taught me to notice beauty. To appreciate history. To understand that there is value in tradition, in details, in doing things well. But being her daughter was not easy.
Her expectations were always high. Sometimes impossibly high. It took me years to understand that no matter what I achieved, accomplished, fixed, managed, or became, I would never fully make her happy in the way I desperately wanted to. That realization is painful to admit out loud because I know she loved me. She did. Absolutely. But love is complicated sometimes. People love from the places they know, and sometimes the way someone loves you is not the way you need to receive love. That has been one of the hardest lessons of my life.
Still, she shaped me into the woman I am today. Both because of her love and in spite of it. Because of her expectations and despite the weight of them. I carry so much of her in me. The good. The hard. The beautiful. The impossible.
Mother’s Day itself was never really about me. It was about honoring the mothers and women in the family first and foremost. The expectation of making the day special was always there. The planning. The pressure. The responsibility of making everyone feel celebrated and cared for. It was never about me. Ever. And honestly? I know how heavy that can feel. Thus I never want my own children to carry that kind of emotional obligation for me. I do not want them to feel responsible for my happiness. It took me years of therapy to figure out that I am responsible for my own happiness. I do not want my kids to spend their lives trying to earn love or approval or peace from me. That cycle ends here if I can help it.
And the truth is, I have not been a perfect mother. Not even close. There are moments I wish I could redo. Seasons I wish I had handled differently. Choices I made from fear, overwhelm, anger, survival mode, trauma, exhaustion. None of those are excuses. They are simply truths. I have apologized to my children, and I will continue to apologize when I get it wrong because I think mothers should. I think accountability matters.
I have always done the best I could with who I was at the time. And sometimes that version of me was struggling more than anyone realized. The reality is that each of my children got a different version of me as their mother because I was a different person while raising each one of them. Youthful. Older. Wiser. More wounded. More healed. More patient. Less patient. More financially secure. More emotionally exhausted. Every child enters a different chapter of our lives, and motherhood evolves whether we want it to or not. That does not mean the love was different. It means I was. And maybe that is the part nobody talks about enough.
Mothers are not perfect humans. They are simply human beings trying to carry the enormous responsibility of loving and shaping other human beings while often still healing themselves. We are flawed and fabulous all wrapped into one complicated package.
So today, Mother’s Day holds all of it for me at once. Love. Grief. Joy. Sadness. Gratitude. Regret. Admiration. Anger. Compassion. Longing. And maybe that is okay. Maybe motherhood was never meant to fit neatly into greeting cards and social media captions. Maybe the most honest thing we can do is tell the truth about it.

Becoming

Kristine Binder

There is a stage of life that no one really prepares you for, and lately I have realized that I am standing right in the middle of it.
We spend so much of our lives planning the obvious milestones. College. Careers. Marriage. Babies. Houses. Retirement accounts. The whole thing gets mapped out like a timeline we are supposed to follow. There are books, podcasts, experts, and entire industries devoted to helping people navigate those stages. But this stage? The one where the roles that once defined your life quietly shift or even disappear? That part seems to get skipped entirely.
And yet here I am.
For years I was the director of my children’s lives. I scheduled things, organized things, advised on things, and occasionally insisted on things. Now I have moved into a role that no one warned me about: audience member. I am in the stands cheering them on as they build their own lives, trying very hard not to yell unsolicited advice from the sidelines like a slightly overenthusiastic sports/stage mom clapping as loud as I possibly can at every chance I get. It is a beautiful transition, but it is still a transition.
At the same time, another role in my life quietly ended. For the past few years I was a caretaker for my parents, and when they passed away that responsibility ended in a way that left a space I had never really anticipated. When you have been responsible for others for so long, it is a strange realization to wake up one day and understand that the person you are now responsible for caring for is… you.
Caretaker of myself.
That is a role I never really planned for, and it turns out there is no instruction manual for it. No one sits you down and says, “Here’s what happens when your children are grown, your parents are gone, and you suddenly have to figure out who you are outside of the roles that filled your life for decades.”
Maybe that is why this season feels a little unsteady. Not wrong. Not sad or happy all the time. Just unfamiliar. Although, to be fair, the unsteady feeling could also be my joints reminding me that I am sixty. It is hard to say which is which some days.
Sixty is an interesting number because it sounds enormous when you say it out loud, yet somehow my brain did not get the memo. In my head I feel much younger than that. My body occasionally disagrees, but overall it is still cooperating well enough. There are a few more aches than there used to be, but nothing a little stretching, movement, and mild denial cannot handle.
And despite the uncertainty, life actually feels pretty full. I pay my own bills. I make my own decisions. If I want cheese and crackers for dinner, I have cheese and crackers for dinner and no one questions my life choices. If I want to stay up late reading, writing, or going down a rabbit hole of ideas for something new I want to build, I do that too. Some nights the house is quiet and peaceful, and other nights I am talking to the dog like he is a full participant in the conversation, which, based on the look he gives me, he clearly believes he is helping with the decision making process.
There is a certain freedom that comes with running your own life. I decide how I spend my time. I decide where my energy goes. If I want to sign up for something new, start a project, change direction, or sit with a cup of coffee and think about life for an hour, I can. There is no committee meeting required to approve the plan. There is also something deeply satisfying about realizing that the life around me is one I built myself over time, piece by piece.
And yes, I still sleep diagonally across the bed when I feel like it… unless the dog has claimed most of the mattress, which happens more often than I care to admit.
People sometimes assume that at this stage a woman must be looking for a partner, as though being single automatically means something is missing. As if there is a box on the life checklist that still needs to be filled in. But the truth is that I am perfectly content with my life as it is. I have built a life that feels full, meaningful, and mine.
If a partner ever enters the picture, they will need to be a one hundred percent value add to my life. Not a fixer-upper project. Not someone who needs to be managed, motivated, or mothered. I am long past the stage of my life where I am interested in taking on another full-time emotional renovation project. At this point, anyone who joins my life should arrive with their own life already intact.
Someone who brings joy, laughter, and partnership to the table. Someone who makes the good parts of life even better, not someone who complicates the peace I have worked hard to create. Otherwise, I am quite happy running my own life, making my own decisions, and yes… sleeping diagonally across the bed.
What I do find myself wondering about, though, is how many other women are standing in this same space.
How many of us are just a bit past the midpoint of life and realizing that there is still so much living left to do, while also recognizing that the structure of our lives has shifted in ways we never really planned for? We are no longer raising small children. Many of us are navigating the loss of parents or other loved ones. The roles that once defined us are evolving, and we are discovering who we are when we are no longer primarily responsible for everyone else.
The loss of my parents is still very raw, and grief has a way of rearranging the furniture in your life whether you are ready for it or not. Some days I feel strong and clear about what comes next, and other days I feel like I am simply doing my best to put one thoughtful foot in front of the other. But somewhere inside all of that is the quiet understanding that this is now my time to discover what my life looks like in this new space.
It is a space that many women never really get the chance to explore. Sometimes that is because they have a partner whose life direction becomes intertwined with their own. Sometimes it is because life moves so quickly that there is never time to stop and ask, What do I want now? And sometimes, if we are honest, it is simply fear. Fear of stepping outside the roles we have known for decades. Fear of the unknown. Fear of standing in a place where there is no clear guidebook.
Because there really isn’t one.
This era of life does not come with instructions. There is no neatly packaged plan for what to do when your children are grown, your parents are gone, and you suddenly realize that the next chapter of your life is largely yours to design.
That realization is both terrifying and incredibly liberating.
So for now, I am doing what I have always done when life feels uncertain. I am moving forward, learning as I go, and paying attention to what feels meaningful. I am allowing myself the space to grieve, the space to grow, and the space to imagine what this next era might hold.
And I suspect I am not the only woman standing in this place.
Which is why I find myself thinking more and more about community. About women walking alongside one another through this stage of life instead of quietly trying to figure it all out alone. Women who are still very much in their prime, still curious, still capable, still full of life, but also honest about the fact that this chapter comes with questions.
Maybe together we can help create the path that none of us were given. We can support one another as we figure out what this next era looks like, share what we are learning along the way, and build something that not only helps us move forward but also creates space for the women who will come after us.
Because while there may not be a guidebook for this part of life, there is something powerful about realizing that we have the ability to write it ourselves.
And for now, I will keep doing the one thing I know how to do.
Moving forward.
Because forward is a pace.

Peace,

Undercurrent

Kristine Binder

Earlier this week, grief knocked the wind out of me. Literally took me down and out.
I’m only writing about it now because I needed time to process what happened. It took sitting with it for a few days and talking it through in therapy before I could really understand it enough to put words to it.
It started in the most ordinary way. I drove to work like I always do…. same streets, same turns, same parking spot. I pulled in, turned off the car, and then just sat there. And I couldn’t get out. The building was right in front of me. My bag was on the seat. Nothing was different, and yet everything felt impossibly heavy.
The strangest part was that I don’t even know what caused it. There wasn’t a specific memory or moment. It was like a wave came out of nowhere, took me under, and I couldn’t seem to come up for air. I was completely consumed by my own sadness. Nothing made it feel better, and that part scared me. It felt like I was in a spiral of sadness with no clear reason why.
I texted a friend who knows me well enough to give me exactly what I needed…. a little empathy and a little tough love. Eventually I took a breath, opened the car door, and went inside.
From the outside, the day probably looked normal. Work went on. Conversations happened. The usual rhythm of the day moved forward. But all day I was holding back tears. The smallest things would make my eyes well up….. a kind word, a quiet moment, a passing thought. Nothing dramatic, just the weight of grief sitting right under the surface.
There are moments lately where I almost wish I could just wear a sign so people would understand. Something that says “Caution: grieving.” Or maybe “Hey… be nice. My parents died this year.” Or even the blunt truth: “Hey… my parents are dead.” Not because I want sympathy, but because grief makes you realize how many people are walking around carrying things no one else can see.
In the past, I probably would have suffered through something like that in silence. I would have pushed it down, smiled, and pretended everything was fine. But not anymore. I told my coworkers I was having a hard day and tried to explain how I was feeling. I could not accurately put it into words. They may not have fully understood, but they were kind. They checked on me throughout the day, offered support, and gave me space when I needed it. That mattered more than they probably realized.
One of the things I talked about in therapy later that week is how little space our society really gives to grief. In some cultures, people wear black and are openly in mourning for a year. The loss is visible. The grief is acknowledged. It is understood that healing takes time.
Here, we get a few days off. Then we’re expected to return to life as usual, even though nothing inside of us feels usual anymore.
So when grief shows up months later, or on a random weekday morning in a parking lot, it can hit hard. It can feel like a wave that knocks you down before you even see it coming.
Earlier this week it took me down and tried to pull me under. But the thing I keep coming back to is this: I didn’t drown.
I reached out to a friend. I told the truth about how I was feeling. I let the people around me see that I was struggling instead of pretending I was fine. And somehow, that felt like progress.
Grief is still there. It will probably always be there in some form. But I’m learning that letting people see it, letting them sit beside me in it, is not weakness. It’s part of healing.
And maybe that’s the quiet lesson grief is teaching me now.
The waves may still come, but I am stronger than the ones that try to pull me under. I am learning to swim and surf.

Peace,

Character

Kristine Binder
People always show you who they are.

There are seasons in life when we are barely holding ourselves together. Grief, illness, loss, divorce, heartbreak…. those moments when simply getting through the day feels like an accomplishment. They are the most fragile seasons of our lives. And in those moments, something becomes very clear: people reveal exactly who they are.
Just because people process grief differently does not give anyone permission to be cruel. Cruelty during someone’s most vulnerable moment isn’t a misunderstanding or a mistake. It’s a choice. And that choice tells you everything you will ever need to know about a person.
We are often told to be kind because we never know what someone else is going through. That is good advice. Kindness matters. Compassion matters. In life we are also often encouraged to assume positive intent, to start from a place of believing that people mean well.
And I do believe in starting there.
But life also teaches you that there are moments when positive intent becomes impossible to assume. There are people who take advantage of kindness, who see someone grieving or struggling and instead of protecting that fragile moment, they exploit it. They take advantage of your diminished capacity, your vulnerability, your exhaustion, your heartbreak. Not because they misunderstood, but because they could.
There are some things in life that should be sacred. Untouchable. Off limits. Someone’s darkest season should be one of them. When a person is sick, grieving, broken, or simply trying to keep their head above water, that is when the people around them are supposed to step closer. That is when compassion should show up. That is when kindness matters most.
But sometimes the opposite happens.
Sometimes people see vulnerability and they don’t feel empathy…. they see opportunity. They see someone who is too exhausted to fight back, too overwhelmed to defend themselves, too heartbroken to protect themselves. And they take advantage of that moment. They say things they would never say if you were strong. They behave in ways they would never dare if you were standing firmly on your feet.
That is not simply poor character. That is the absence of humanity.
The wounds from that kind of cruelty run deep because they happen at the exact moment you needed support the most. You were already drowning, and instead of throwing you a lifeline, they pushed your head further under. You were already shattered, and instead of helping you gather the pieces, they stepped on them, crushing them even smaller.
I know this not just in theory, but in lived experience. I saw it during my divorce, and I have seen it again in other seasons of loss. Something about grief and hardship has a way of revealing people. When life cracks open and everything feels fragile, the masks fall away. In those moments, people show you exactly who they are.
And over time, you learn that people are not judged by a single sentence they say or one moment they regret. People are known by their patterns. By their behavior over and over again. By how they treat others when things are going well, and when everything is falling apart. By how they treat people when there is nothing to gain and no audience watching. And by how they behave when they do have something to gain. I have seen the worst of humanity in people who were once very close to me. The kind of cruelty that shocks you because you never imagined it could come from them. But I have also seen the absolute best in people, those who quietly step closer when life gets hard, who show compassion without needing credit, who protect others when they are at their weakest. They sit with you and, often saying nothing, help you feel safe.
In loss, people reveal themselves.
And that is how you learn who to trust. I am not a vengeful person, but I do believe in karma. Not the dramatic kind people talk about, but the quieter kind. I know that karma may simply be that some people have to live with the person they chose to be. They have to sit with the choices they made and the way they treated someone who was already hurting. And in the end, that may be consequence enough.
I know that through those seasons I stayed in my lane. I did the best I could with the strength and clarity I had at the time. When I made mistakes, I owned them. I apologized. I worked to correct them.
But cruelty? That is different.
Cruelty is intentional. And when someone chooses cruelty toward a person who is already wounded, it is not something you forget—not because you are holding onto anger, but because you learned something important.
People always show you who they are.
And if you are paying attention, those moments help you see more clearly. They show you who is safe, who is kind, who will stand beside you when life gets hard. In the end, those lessons don’t just protect your heart….
they guide you toward the people who truly deserve a place in your life.

Peace,
