Don’t “Wish You Had” With Your Teen
We regret to inform you that your daughter was found -. You don’t want this notification. You don’t want the police or anyone notifying you about this kind of news. This thought is scary and places your mind in a place that asks, “Oh How I wish I had…”
Please give this moment a good thought. If you were notified, would you care that they hadn’t made their bed. They were gay. That they were so nasty to you this morning? When your teen has died, you wish you had found the patience to have asked the extra question that might have given context to their unmade bed, sexual orientation and even nastiness to you.
Life shouldn’t be about regret and your teen should not have lived never having received this type of compassion and love from you. They are worth it while they are still here and living. If your teen is living and doesn’t speak to you, it is important that you be the person to break this wall down. The ripple effect of your teen not speaking to you, moving away, marrying and having children that also don’t speak to you creates more regret and makes regret the legacy you leave.
Change your legacy and if you are one of the fortunate parents to have not heard these dreaded words, make a change that will draw your teen near not far away. You have the advantage because your teen really wants to be close to you too.
