Scenario

When your children feel burdened by your military identity

My teenage daughter told me she is embarrassed to tell people her mom is a veteran because it makes them ask weird questions and I do not know how to feel about that.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The pride of service collides with a child's need for normalcy, creating unexpected shame around identity that should bring honor.
