Remembering Robin Williams on his birthday. While he made many laugh, he was hurting miserably inside. Remember to listen to those around you. It matters.

This is the hardest thing ever.

👀 How long have you spent hoping they will change? Has it ever happened? Does it bring you any long-lasting peace?
It's okay to stop waiting.
It's okay to grieve the version of them you wished existed.
And it's okay to accept who they've already shown you they are.
Acceptance isn't giving up — it's the beginning of true peace.

If you're tired of wishing, hoping, and thinking, it's time for actual change. Comment "DONE," and I'll send you a resource for setting healthy boundaries with the toxic people in your life.

Pick your resources carefully. Make certain it's someone you trust.

“The American College of Pediatricians applauds HHS on taking bold steps to protect children who struggle with gender dysphoria. Today’s report confirms what we have warned since 2011— transgender interventions on minors, including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries, cause irreversible harm. These practices defy decades of science on child development. Puberty is not a disease— its absence is. Medicine must do no harm. We call on leading medical organizations to promote policies that align with the findings of this report.”
- Dr. Michael Artigues, President of ACPeds.

🌿 **May is Mental Health Awareness Month** 🌿

This month, we’re shining a light on something that affects us all — **mental health**. It’s time to break the stigma, start the conversation, and prioritize well-being just as much as physical health. 💚

Whether you're managing anxiety, supporting a loved one, or simply learning more, you’re not alone. Let’s educate, support, and uplift each other — because mental health matters, every day.

THIS!!

A word to weary parents...

Few wounds cut deeper than being rejected, dishonored or attacked by your own adult child.

You prayed. You raised them. You hoped. And now, you grieve. Not just the relationship — but the person you love.

Maybe they lie, manipulate, blame or even try to destroy your peace. And as a parent, you weep. Quietly. Daily. Sometimes in secret.

This is not a failure of faith. This is where your faith is refined.

God knows what it is to be rejected by His children (Isaiah 1:2). He knows the ache of betrayal, and He collects every tear (Psalm 56:8).

But Christian parents — hear this clearly:

- “Honor your father and mother” (Exodus 20:12) is a command for them, not a license for you to endure dishonor without boundary.
- You are called to forgive — yes. But forgiveness does not mean unlimited access.
- You are called to love — but love does not enable sin (1 Corinthians 13:6).

Setting boundaries with a destructive adult child is not unloving — it’s obedient. It protects truth (Romans 16:17) and points the way back to repentance (Luke 15:17).

So keep praying. Keep weeping. Keep hoping. But do not carry guilt for what only God can change.

And do not confuse grief with compromise. It is as though something has come upon a generation of young people that produced such dysfunctional thinking that only God can break them free.

You are not alone. God is near (Psalm 34:18). And He will never abandon you.

Parents!! Please talk to your children. This happened right here in Michigan. The good news is...for the first time EVER, the culprits have been captured and extradited to Michigan for trial. The bad news is that it continues to happen. Please HAVE A CONVERSATION.
