A Christian and a Muslim walk into a steakhouse… Sounds like the start of a bad joke, right? Actually, unbeknownst to me, it was the beginning of my realization of just how stereotypical and judgmental I’d become over the years. My patient’s mother had been on me for weeks to […]
[nextpage title=”Page 1″ ] It’s been a long road from birth to 17-years-old with my son. Parenting is not for the weak. From potty training to surviving a divorce, I can safely say we’ve been through the wringer. Sure, my son can be a pain at times. He’s a […]
