Thx for sharing. Theres no such thing as perfection in parenting. We do our best. You were wearing your mom cape and only wanted to protect your kid.

Your kid will develop his own relationship when he’s an adult and if it’s right for him.

This is so tough. Thank you for sharing a bit of your story with us. We have different issues, but similar questions at our house about a missing family member and I know how hard it is to watch the confusion and pain in your kids. Sending lots of love and solidarity ♥️

Also, so cool that you & Jen got to connect irl!
