Why did nobody talk to me about my feelings? Like why do I just have to do what you say?’ When you become an adult, you kind of forget that you used to be a kid and you have feelings, so it’s important for me.”

He called me Teri. And I didn’t correct him bc I loved that he had his own perception of me. … I then remember the years as I watched this young boy grow to be a preteen and a teen and try to figure out his role in our blended family. Then came years of awkwardness. He was quiet. I was quiet. It was new to me and I never wanted to push my role in his life. I’ve loved him since he was that little boy that called me Teri and played Polly Pockets with me. And, then he came out. I was so proud of his confidence. He was who he was and he was proud of it.”
