No Explanations For How I Parent

A terrible decision for your child might be the perfect one for mine.

Just because I don’t know why he reacts a certain way to something, that doesn’t mean I can’t support him during it.

We walked into the crowded and cramped waiting area. That’s when my son had a meltdown.

It’s easy to be so fixated on one specific victory that we miss all the other ones happening around us.

I had to force myself to see the worst of him, even though I usually can only see the best.

When you truly accept anything as a possibility then everything is perfect.

What followed was a barrage of sad heart emojis mixed with the occasional, “Stay Strong, Mama”.

He’ll get it. I know he will. He’s done it before. He’ll do it again.

It’s our favorite trip. Other people might not get it, but we do.

When it comes to meetings like this, it’s about helping my child. I’m here for him.
