"Stop Trying to Fix Me!!!"

When a child comes out as LGBTQ+, parental instincts shift into "fixing" mode. We approach with good intentions, believing we know what's best. Moving from fear to freedom means releasing our vision for our children and embracing their truth. When we let go of being right and lean into being kind, both parent and child find unexpected freedom. The relationship doesn't just survive — it emerges stronger than before.
