This is quite similar to what I've been traveling too. In fact the quote you ended your post with is the one I used to start my last post! I have been thinking so much about how to have these tough conversations with both of my kiddos. The older one now and younger one when she is much older. It's heartbreaking and scary to open that door...and so much easier to pretend the door doesn't exist..but in the end so much healthier for them if we help them through the door and navigate the information behind it. Best of luck to you as you figure out how to teach him about the love born in your hearts that will heal his.
