I’ve overheard him talking with friends about “Disability TikTok,” and it makes me wonder whether he’s found some sort of “home” in this corner of the Internet.

I have four kids, three school-aged kids with my wife and one older teenage daughter, “Emily,” from my first marriage. I had fallen out of contact with Emily after her mother and I divorced. Sadly her mother passed away last year, so she has moved in with my family. It seems that in the years between when I moved out and now, my ex and daughter fell on some hard times.

Recently, in an attempt to gain more distance from our extended family and provide our daughter with a more multiracial childhood experience, we moved closer in the big city and enrolled her in a more diverse school. This also means her sports teams and after-school activities are significantly more multiracial. We’ve tried to teach her about accepting everyone’s differences, systemic racism and inequality, and her role in interrupting racism, but it’s hard to tell how much has stuck.
