Dear parent
You have created space in your home; you have created space in your family for a hurting child. In doing so, you have chosen a life that makes you very vulnerable, a life you hold very little control over, a life that can be very anxiety-inducing, overwhelming, dysregulating, exhausting, and painful. You have also chosen a life with so much beauty and possibility in your daily purpose, a life that will expand your heart in ways you never knew were possible, a life that beholds miracles, loves big, and experiences deep joy. Parent, what you are doing every day matters so much. Your ordinary day holds precious significance. I hope you feel valued, seen, and needed. You are doing such important work. You are not alone.
