so, i came into the kitchen today and saw my son's diary chillin' on the table. it was open, like totally lying there for everyone to see. i'm like, okay, not gonna snoop or anything but then my eye catches something he wrote: that he's gay 😲. i mean, i love him no matter what, right? but now i'm stuck wondering how do i even bring this up with him without making it awkward or whatever.

this is kinda new territory for me and maybe for him too 🤷‍♂️. what if he left it open on purpose or maybe by accident? who knows! i'm just sitting here trying to figure out how to be supportive without being that pushy parent who's all up in his space. do i tell him i know or wait til he feels ready to talk? it's complicated.

you know, years ago this stuff wasn't really talked about much. people kept their lips sealed and we weren't super open about these things in past generations. guess times are different now which is cool 🌈👍but it's still nerve-racking cause you wanna get it right as a parent.

i just don't wanna mess this up ✌️! give him his time and all that jazz... at the end of the day (ok maybe a little cliche there) 😂 it's his life so i'm just in the background hoping he feels safe enough to share when he's ready.
