Agreed, and, therein lies my dilemma.
Forgot to mention that, in "Love, Simon" the father was so upset with himself when he realized the silly things he said about gay people prior to...
Morning coffee is a beautiful thing! I am already connected with people very involved in the acceptance movement in the Catholic church and try...
You seem like a thoughtful and introspective person. Those are wonderful qualities. My son is very much his own person. He claims to be shy yet...
Maybe I should start a new thread on this subject, but that is one if the main reasons I joined ECS. How do I go about that without,...
He was never my puppet and, thankfully that is exactly the kind of trust I have built. I am so sorry that so much of what I shared was...
