Just a relatively new chick here, wondering how it goes? I i have lot of internal conflict personally. I’m also stressing about the shit going on in parts of the US right now. Partially for myself, a lot for my (amab) son, whom I am questioning on gender/Sexuality. He’s young(elementary) but has some signs that make me(newly questioning) wonder. I want what’s best for us both, especially him. I’d love for him to grow up I. A better ¿more supportive environment than me, but I don’t know how to assist, or how to protect him/them. Any advice would be much appreciated!
Unconditional, freely given love and support for your child will give them the best chance in finding themselves, because they will feel they will always have someone to come home to when they go exploring whether it’s outside, relationships with others, or their relationship with themselves.
Growing up in a household that while not actively abusive, also didn’t have freely given love or affection meant that my sense of self was based not on my own internal self worth, but how I believed society perceived me and I never felt safe enough to express myself how I really wanted.
