“I recognize that taking advice about discipline from a mother whose son is incarcerated might seem foolish.”
I couldn’t disagree more. I truly appreciate your insight. I’m a new reader, and as I work my way through your posts I am undoubtedly becoming a better man, father, and husband.
I’ve been a cop by trade for nearly twenty years, and I can say with certainty that accountability (love) is the way forward, while punishment (hatred/ rage/ resentment) only broadens the gap.
I can't tell you what this means to me. This, right here, is why sharing stories matters. I appreciate you and your heart and your work. You are so right that love is how we all find a better way for everyone. Thank you so much for being a part of that every day.
Sitting here in tears, I really felt this all.
Thank you for reading, and for feeling with me. Sending love. 🖤
