Yes, TLS is a stateful protocol. In that case you modify the state and
then you continue from a previous state in the child. You have to send
your last message either from the child itself, or before it is created.

I was thinking to add a function to serialize the session data and
deserialize them on a different process, but I never got to finish it;
so the answer is there is no reset function.
