This week's confession: When Lane was in middle school and exhibiting extreme behaviors almost daily, I told friends, “The next person who says, 'there is a special place for you in heaven,’ I might punch ‘em in the throat.” I will explain why platitudes like this one often filled me with rage and what friends and family members can say instead. I share a few entries from the blog I wrote during the matching process with my son in October 2010. Additionally, I give a summary of an important book that I wish I had paid more attention to when I first read it.
My audacious intent for this podcast is to be a beacon of hope for parents and guardians like me, who are raising wounded children and doing their best to stay afloat. I have found my way from surviving to thriving and you can, too!
