When your name isn’t really yours

Losing your last name can feel like losing a piece of yourself. One teen shared how his family forced him to take his stepdad’s name after his dad passed away, even though he never wanted it. Years later, he finally reclaimed his original name at 18, despite his mom calling it a betrayal. The story hit a nerve online, with many saying kids should have a say in big decisions about their identity. Have you ever felt pressured to accept something that didn’t feel right? How much say should kids have in family changes like this? #Relationships #FamilyDynamics #Identity
