Rebekah Matt’s blog article considers the question of how to prepare now – when your child is younger for what will you say when your teen or young adult child brings you that shattering news that he or she _________________.
“Not if, but when.
Not because you would literally expect your daughter to someday say this to you, or because you fully expect to find drugs in your son’s room, but in order to have a clear mind and a prepared heart for whatever you might hear, see, or discover one day about one of your own children. So that despite the shock and sadness you may feel, despite the hard conversations you may need to have or decisions you may have to make, you can, above all, maintain the relationship with your child.”
