Divorced Dad On “Staying Together For The Kids”

No heroes. No villains. Ashes to ashes, we all fall down.

Hi, Blog. I’m grateful.

My words made my daughter feel better, but they also made me feel better too.

We may struggle to help our children, but we never struggle to love them

I knew nothing about autism and nothing about being non-verbal. Hell, I knew nothing about having a son.

Without them, I would wallow in my own mind during times when my own mind is the most dangerous place to wallow in.

What came next could have destroyed me, if I let it.

It’s not about words. It’s about communicating.

No blankies in sight. That’s when he goes on the hunt like Elmer Fudd at Bed, Bath, and Beyond.

Your kid is watching. You can’t scream. You can’t yell. You can’t say all the bad things you’re dying to say.
