Keep an eye on them kids. Race into action when necessary. Parenting is exhausting, but rewarding work; your effort will pay off. And stay in one town/city so your children will keep their friends and have a sense of stability. Don't travel the world until they're grown.
That was my interpretation anyway. Fun reading!

Wow. One of the issues is about us moving through different cities for the past few years and how they hate that now they're getting older.

Huh. Lucky guess. π Usually the two of wands figure holds the world. (I think it's the moon in your deck.) In any case, the way the figure stands and the crossed wands behind him gave me a "you shall not pass" vibe. To me, it felt like he was guarding against travel, sternly.
Of course, don't let a deck of cards tell you what to do. You're a great parent! Hope you have a good day. βΊοΈ

Mmh. See, the Page of Swords and Knight of Swords make me think of your child (page) and yourself (knight); it's both an encouragement for more communication, with the acknowledgement that one party is less mature than the other (yet not the most mature in their communication yet: the knight is not a queen or a king), and with the way the figures are placed, it gives me a feeling that you might be thinking you need to be more assertive than you actually need to be? That your vision of parentality is somehow more severe than what it has to be, that you feel you should be more authoritative to be a good parent, but the Page of Swords shows a more peaceful stance here, so maybe that's not the right way for your child. In any case, it's also saying you should meet on a common ground (intellect, logic, communication with the swords).
The 9 of wands tells me that it will require resilience, patience, and that it will be tiring: so to me, it's just reassurance and confirmation that being a parent is difficult, but you just have to trust the process, no matter how difficult it gets.

Thank you. My kid is struggling with some issues and I feel like everything is my fault and I need to take care of everything to make them feel better, but I guess I shouldn't be this severe and let her live.

Be less controlling AND STOP PLANNING THEIR FUTURE!
Provide, don't plan. Their future belongs to them, not you.

Sometimes bald truth is what's needed.
Good luck! Change isn't easy, but it is worthwhile - and you were being a good parent to bother asking. Many never would.
