Dogbert's friends: Has a new group of friends based on a Pokemon thing and they have a DnD club at school and outside of school. Lucky kid! |
Thinking hard. I never came out to my mother. Would she still have loved me? I'd like to think she'd have come around, but that's not an option anymore. A friend wrote out her traumas, and it's been an odd thing that I've been looking at mine. It's maybe something I shouldn't tackle all at once, especially when reading a memoir book where the author tackles her own demons. At least my kid trusts me enough to talk to me about her sexuality. Neither seems to have questioned their gender status. Puberty is really tough, though. All those ant metaphors about it's the issue with whomever shakes them up? We put all the ants in middle school and it's the hormones shaking them up. Survival is not a given. |
