32. I Believe You – I Have Your Back

What do you say to a gay son or daughter when they come out?

With the benefit of hindsight Linda Robertson shares her thoughts on what she wishes she had said to her 12-year-old son Ryan when he came out.

This podcast is extracted from an interview with Becky Aste (a Trauma-Informed Marriage Coach) on her podcast, Your Breakthrough Blueprint, from an emotional episode called, Can I love God and my gay son too?
