island

Feels like we are on an island at times; living here in the wanna be suburban mecca....

Parenting as SGL men, we always understood it would be a challenge and embrace it - but sure would be nice if we had neighbors a cul-de-sac over or so, to have play dates with our kids and to discuss life with....

This past week, we encountered an absolutely horrid mental health "professional" - he attempted to provoke our son to have an emotional reaction, to lose it (which he didn't do).

He also threatened to order him to residential therapeutic treatment; this was our first exposure to this person and is our last.

We have concluded that part of his reaction was to dealing with two SGL parents; AK was the foil.
