About so many things. I am done hiding. I am done contributing to a society where it is shameful to need help, shameful to ask for help, shameful to admit to receiving help.

I am done being told that it is no one else’s business.

And so I am out…

About being in therapy
About having mental health difficulties
About having a kid who sometimes struggles with life
About having a parenting coach
About needing help

My willingness to even mention Marie surprises people. Often they don’t know where to go with it. I always follow up “I have a parenting coach” with “and everyone should have one”.

I am hopeful that someday, someone will say “I need your help”.

2 years ago I would have offered solutions.

Today I like to believe that I will ask “How can I help?”
