Part of the reason I started this, wasn’t so much to be read as a blogger, but because I wanted a place to record our stories.
I feel like everything in my life up to now has been preparing me for this moment.
I want to write about it. I want to share my story with other families. Our struggles. Our triumphs. What I have learned along the way.
I have a 12 year old kid with neuro differences who is highly sensitive and now identifying as LGBTQ.
This is a new world of parenting. Kids never came out as gay at 12 before. Especially not to their parents. I think I am a good mom. But I know I have made mistakes. I wish there was a manual along the way. Something that I could point to and say “aha! This is what I should do.”
I react always from a place of love. I live in perpetual fear of fucking it all up. But at least if I do fuck up I did so trying to love.
Does that help? I hope it does.
