School might be academically difficult for your son but socially, it might be easy. Everyone has challenges and we can all look back at our lives and remember the times we were hurt and the struggles we faced.

BUT, you have beautiful children, and I mean that sincerely, and that alone will help them. We all want to think looks don't matter, and as an adult, they don't matter as much, but as a child, it can really determine whether other kids accept you. It's not right, but it's true.

They also have smart and determined parents who will help them succeed no matter what obstacles they face. Recognizing that your son may face challenges you don't understand is a big step in helping him, some parents never even get to that point.

When children are born, we have all these hopes and dreams and ideas and expectations for their lives. Sometimes, things change and we have to change with them. It's not easy but you will get through it and you will both be ok.

It amazes me just how many of us had childhoods where we felt "out of place." It makes me wonder how many people really did feel that they fit in, if so many of us didn't. I definitely relate to your experience.

And I find my mind trying to "change topics" when I start thinking about my kids going through that because I just don't want it to happen and it's hard to think about.

You're an awesome mama. You're aware of your tendency to be afraid, and you are determined to give your son support & not fear. You're doing GREAT. I'll pray for you guys; I know it's a challenging time.
