Please Allow Me to Introduce Myself

I’m going to be talking about the joys and challenges—and sometimes heartbreaks—of raising my kids…hovering somewhere between being the default parent and a coequal partner—as well as what it means to be a coequal partner—in a blended, multiracial family with some of us on the LGBTQ spectrum. I’ll talk about my struggles trying to balance being a work-from-home parent. About the effects of patriarchy from a male perspective—or at least a gentle (or nontoxic) male perspective. About my journey as a newly-diagnosed neurodivergent and the unique experience I’ve had learning about that—and how I am using what I learn to parent my children—or trying to, anyway. We’ll be navigating faith and spirituality a bit together, and for that I promise far more questions than answers. And I’ll be weaving in issues like metal and emotional health, equality, patriarchy (as I already mentioned), gender roles and identity, and social justice.
