OK QUITE LITERALLY WHY I DONT CALL WHAT WERE DOING ELOPEMENT. to me elope is to get married without your family. You just do it together and that’s it. No one else but the required humans are there.

Anything else is a tiny wedding

I don't cry easily, but as the dad of a teenage son with autism, ADHD & anxiety issues, watching Tim Walz's 17-year-old son(who has a non-verbal learning disorder, ADHD & anxiety disorder)standing up, crying & pointing to the stage telling everyone "that's my dad" just gutted me

@woofknight "Children have all the emotional capacity of adults and none of the experience in learning how to cope with it."

I can't overstate how frustrating it was growing up and being expected to have mastery of my emotions by age 7 without any guidance on how to cope or regulate.
