My son has learning disabilities. School was always very hard. Then our family had several difficult years. Then 2020. He barely passed 7th, 8th, and 9th grades. Last night we got an email inviting him to be in National Honor Society for his senior year. 1/

@LauraRbnsn I can worry about kidnapping when my anxiety is up. I think because it’s 1) the most horrifying thing we can imagine being done to our kids, and 2) we can pretend to have some control over it: if I just keep them close, watch them all the time, teach them how to be careful…
