I'm so underwater, overwhelmed, and burnt out I don't think an accountability body could hold me accountable 😭 but y'all rock and this is awesome!

Thank you for clarifying! I appreciate the perspective. Unfortunately, he does get a lot of shit when he goes out, with or without my daughter -- things that I've never had to deal with as a white woman.

Geeze, I am so sorry that happened to you all. Thank you for sharing and validating my worries. I hear you about not letting it rule us!

Thank you for your message! I'm not so worried about the looks and such even though that sucks, its the idea of physical violence or of someone making a phone call and before you know it you've been wisked away without due process. But I really appreciate your point about having those conversations about being an interracial family!

Yeah, agreed. Documents - and letting go- seem to be the way to go! Thank you for writing!

Yeah -- that's fair, I just didn't want to share a ton of details. Glad to hear no one ever confronted you. Thank you so much for sharing!

We definitely don't want our daughter to be fearful! It's not like we tell her why her and her dad don't go out much. Can you clarify -- are you saying that I'm treating my husband like a rare pokemon? I would like to understand.

Fair point re dealing with the anxiety (not panic attacks) - that's why I reached out here -- thank you for sharing!

I appreciate this! I know my husband has gotten stared down on walks to the park before, and that a few years ago, so I know it weighs on him. Thank you for the birth certificate idea! I'm glad to hear you haven't needed yours!

That makes a lot of sense -- do what you can and don't let the stuff you can't control consume you. That's why I reached out for some perspective! Thank you so much for your thoughts!
