Support is unconditional. It is listening, not judging, not telling your own story.
Support is not offering advice. It is offering a touch, a hug, a tissue...caring.
We are here to listen...not to work miracles.
We are here to help birthers discover what they are feeling...not to make the feelings go away.
We are here to help a birther identify their options...not to tell them what to choose.
We are here to discuss steps with a birther...not to take steps for them.
We are here to help a birther discover their own strength...not to rescue them and leave them still vulnerable.
We are here to help a birther discover that they can help themselves...not take responsibility for them.
We are here to help a parent learn to choose...not to make it unnecessary for them to make difficult choices.
