A saw a quote somewhere that was like “you can’t prepare the road for your child, you can only prepare your child for the road. “
I would love to be able to make the world a safe and happy place where my child will never be hurt or scared or have anything bad happen to him. But I know I can’t do that. I have to make sure, to the best of my ability, that my child is prepared for the stress and issues he may face.
At some point reality will come crashing down on this poor child and I feel so sorry for them.
