125: My 8-Year-Old Son Told Me He’s Gay

Episode 125: My 8-Year-Old Son Told Me He’s GayIn this deeply vulnerable episode, I share a story that has completely shifted how I see love, parenting, and acceptance.At 2 AM, I felt called to record this because it’s one of the most important conversations of my life—the moment my 8-year-old bravely told me he is gay. What followed wasn’t just about my son—it was also about my own journey of healing, self-acceptance, and breaking generational cycles.I open up about:The raw moment my son came to me and trusted me with his truth.The fears, flinch, and judgments I had to confront within myself.How acceptance builds safety and connection in the family.Why rejection and shame can create lifelong wounds and broken relationships.My personal story of growing up without emotional safety and how that shaped my parenting.The “sweet spot” where trauma can be passed down—or healing can begin.This is not just a story about my child. It’s about the power of acceptance, love, and self-work. As parents, we are our children’s first reference point. If we don’t heal ourselves, they may spend their lives healing from us.✨ My biggest takeaway: acceptance is love. Safety begins at home, and when we accept ourselves, we create the space to accept our children fully.🔑 Whether you’re a parent, a child of parents who struggled to accept you, or someone healing from generational trauma, this episode will remind you of the importance of creating safe spaces where love is unconditional.👉 If this episode resonates with you, don’t forget to subscribe, share, and leave a review. Let’s keep this important conversation alive. Our children deserve it.💌 Connect with me:Instagram & Tiktok:⁠ @libnifortuna⁠Podcast Instagram:⁠ @anywaymovingforwar⁠dpodcast
