We all have those moments of "This is not what I signed up for." We act so surprised when the unexpected happens and yet we know that this is part of a real life. Especially as our kids hit the teenage years and young adulthood, we may find that they make choices and decisions that we are surprised, disappointed, shocked, or confused about. It is all part of the process and their path to adulthood, and it's also all part of the process and our journey as parents. When we can accept and trust our kids to make their own decisions and have their own opinions, this preserves trust and creates healthier and closer relationships. Even as hard as it can be to let go and accept choices they make that we may disagree with or not fully understand, honoring everyone's feelings and loving each family member with unconditional love will go a long way in keeping close as a family. For moms who have a child identifying as LGBTQ and are processing through lots of emotions about that, this episode may be helpful.
