My son has just married, so I am no longer the queen of his universe. I regret making my children the center of my world because they no longer need me as adults. I've always made my children the center of my world, but now that they're adults, I'm struggling to understand my role in their lives. When Queen Elizabeth ascended the throne, her mother became Queen Mother. Now, I struggle with the realization that my children no longer need me in the way they once did.
