Jeff, you’re an amazing parent and YOU get to choose the way you want to do it.

“My son’s unconventional birth made me more proactive about crafting this narrative, and I’m glad I was. I want to give him this grounding knowledge, even if it comes from a place of overcompensating.”

The choices you are making are the right ones. How do I know? Because they’re the choices you are making.

As I said a few days ago, cherish every moment with George -- it can pass with the blink of an eye & those moments are so incredibly difficult to reclaim.

This piece is a beautiful tribute to him, as well as to the truth of his origin story. Wishing you all the very best & brightest ! Jewelz

Jeff, thanks for sharing this story!

As you know, I've supported your journey to fatherhood from day one, and journaling is great for expression, therapy, and many other things. Let's not forget that your son deserves to grow up normal, and some of these subjects may be a bit advanced for his 6-year old mind.

Let's also remember that bullying is a terrible form of harassment that can lead to other harms, for you and for him.

Lastly, please be safe. I'm happy to see your progress!

Best,

Romell

You may be surprised at what the mind of a 6 yr old is able to understand, especially when it comes from a place of love, honesty & pride.
