“you’re the parent- act like it. don’t let your daughter come home in tears because of her first rejection. take her out to ice cream and tell her that she’s worth more than they’ll ever realize. don’t let your son come home with blood on his face and regret on his mind; regret for thinking that they’ll accept him. show him how strong he is, and how cruel they are. don’t let your child drown in their own despair- throw them a life raft and teach them how to swim. don’t think they can go through it alone, and don’t throw out the key when they’ve locked themselves in a prison of despair and depression. don’t you dare tell them they aren’t worth it; that they’re useless, dumb, or ignorant. they are your child, and they are a miracle. start treating them as such.”
