Suniya Luthar, psychologist and co-author of a study on "What It Feels Like To Be A Mother: Variations By Children’s Developmental Stages"

"Midlife mothers may have lost this foundation when their "mom friends" disbanded as their children grew older. Finding a cohort like the one that guided them during the early years of parenting can help. Luthar says that it's important to have friends to lean on through this tenuous process because mothers raising tweens still need the same validation they once had when they embarked on their parenting journeys."- NPR "Being Mom To A Middle Schooler Can Be The Toughest Gig Of All"
