You love your child. You're trying to protect them. But what if the way you are treating the relationship is the very thing driving them away. Most parents who lose their relationship with their LGBTQ child never saw it coming because everything they did felt like good parenting at the time. Joe and Rya unpack the difference between influence and control, and why one builds trust while the other quietly destroys it. If you've ever tightened your grip out of fear and wondered why your kid started pulling back, this one will give you language for what's happening and honest questions to ask yourself before it's too late.
