Mommy Loves Your Bullies | 2025-2026 |

Because I love the boy you are becoming. And that boy? He has your bullies to thank.

You are nine years old. You are soft in a way that terrifies me. You still believe that if you are kind enough, the world will be kind back. I used to believe that too. Then I lived. mommy loves your bullies

A boy who can fall down and get up. A boy who learns that some people are just weather—you don’t beg the storm to stop, you learn to stand in the rain. A boy who will never need his mommy to fight his battles. Because that is the only kind of boy who grows into a man I can trust to be alone in this world. Because I love the boy you are becoming

I’m sorry I can’t protect you from everything. I’m sorry I let them scrape up your knees and your pride. I’m sorry that the only way to build a backbone is to break a heart first. You are nine years old
