How to paraphrase the sentence?

Unlike the young child though, adolescence is nerve-wracking because now they are truly out of sight, the stakes are higher and you didn't raise your kid for 13 years plus to see them get into trouble now.

How to paraphrase the underlined part? thanks.

It's difficult to do without sounding selfish. It hurts to see the well-behaved kid you've raised for 13 plus years suddenly go out of control, facing dangers you don't know about and can't help with.
