Hi, Dan. I am a mom who lives in the Midwest, and I have an elementary-aged child who, for the past three to four years, has expressed themselves to be non-cis-het. Recently, they came out as non-binary and have said that their pronouns are they-them and I am obviously respecting that and that's all fine.

Hi, Dan. I am a mom who lives in the Midwest, and I have an elementary-aged child who, for the past three to four years, has expressed themselves to be non-cis-het. Recently, they came out as non-binary and have said that their pronouns are they-them and I am obviously respecting that and that's all fine.

And every time they express themselves to be non-cis head conforming to me, I always reassure them that they are very loved and accepted. So my question is beyond that, making sure they know that they are loved and accepted for themselves, what can I do to support them? What would have been something you would have wanted your parents to do when you were younger?

What are some things that other people in the LGBTQIA community that listen to your podcast would What would they have wanted their parents or their caregivers to have done when they were young and still figuring out who and what they were?

Hi, Dan. I'm a 36-year-old divorcee. My husband and I have 10 years divorce because we just wanted different things. And I don't think he felt supported by me very much. We were poly more because I wanted him than he so. And also I'm involved in a family business. I hold public office. I volunteer a lot in my community and I'm involved in a lot of creative projects.

So I don't have a lot of time for relationships. After we divorced, I started dating around. And to various degrees of success, I consider going mono with other relationships that I already had going. I also met new people. And one of them has become particularly taxing. And I know that I should leave. And it's been a nightmare trying to cut loose.

I quickly realized that we weren't right for each other. He comes from an incredibly traumatic past. But at the same time, he has a lot of emotional needs that I just can't meet. I've seen people behind his back. Things got a lot more serious than I anticipated right away. And every time that I tell him that I can't give him everything that he needs, it's not in my nature to be monogamous.

The breakups are really intense on traumatic levels. It ends up in screening matches where things are being thrown about. He threatens to do stuff that could put him in harm's way. And he also has made public posts defaming me, disclosing that I cheated and that I lied and everything. That I'm ungrateful and that I sleep around. And my parents have seen that.

And he threatens to go to my parents again and tell them that, you know, I'm a horrible person. And he's not a liar if I leave him. I don't know what to do on the outside. I seem like a strong woman that manages a business of several employees and holds public office and does all of these things in her community. But right now I feel like I'm alone.

I'm terrified of leaving this person because they might wreak havoc into my life. And I somewhat feel responsible because, yes, I did cheat. I wasn't honest a lot of the time. I don't know what to do. This is alienating other people that are closing my life and I need help.
