This is so like my family. My brother says he is a woman. My other brother says we have to be kind and why does it matter anyway. My mother and sister go along with the lie. I cannot lie or accept people that do. I feel so alone right now.
Your son is being so disrespectful to you. I am shocked at his reaction and to ban you from his wedding. That's absolutely atrocious. I'm so sorry. This ideology makes our kids even more selfish and egocentric than they already are as teens!
I feel your pain -I don’t have much to add to what others have said except that our family is so fragmented since our daughter suddenly flipped from the most feminine teenager you could imagine to sneaking behind our backs & taking testosterone and moving as far west from FL as you can imagine. Limited contact but I’m thankful for the little. So many of us parents & family with broken hearts. It’s so hard to know how to pick up the pieces when all of the pieces are strewn so far. My heart is with you ❤️
My daughter also suddenly flipped from being very feminine to rejecting reality. She was under the influence of strong antidepressant medication when she changed aged 16.
I suspected the medication was causing mania. She was very beautiful so the transformation was a huge shock. She invented a past.
At 18 she thought she passed as a boy and legally became “male”. How utterly ridiculous is that!
Now at 24 she is nearly mature and can never pass as a man.
The physical, moral and spiritual authority as given by US law, natural law and Judeo Christian tradition and teaching. Parents who beget children have a special right and responsibility to teach, guide and pray for their children. We do not stop praying for our children at an arbitrary age or location. This is elucidated in several apostolic letters. You see parental rights in our laws in the United States because of this teaching in Judeo Christian teaching. Parents can and do delegate some of the responsibility to schools. Parents have the right and responsibility to ensure that schools are teaching properly. Teachers and schools are to be held accountable to parents- the primary educators of children. You may not understand this but I suggest you read these laws and letters concerning parental rights. Much of the attack on parental rights has fueled the trans indoctrination problems —by WPATH, HRC, gay-straight alliance clubs, Pro-affirmation health care providers, Planned parenthood, counselors, schools or on the internet—people promoting the identity tell Kids to keep this information from their parents and to cut off their parents if the parent questions their identity at all.
The highest thing we can strive towards is truth. Not my truth or your truth - those relative nonsensical things, but truth and to pretend what is not and cannot be is to stray from truth. Lies are never truth. It is what matters most so hopefully one day when one of your sons becomes a parent their selfish folly will become apparent.
What has this rotten ideology done to our next generation? What and who is behind this garbage driving it forward into naive young brains. It disgusts and sickens me that this horror is breaking families apart or as my daughter who thinks she can be a man has said to me “Well you’ll be the one crying when I have a beard!” Who says that to their loving parent? In what Universe is that acceptable? It doesn’t make any sense. Precisely how does one who has never been the opposite natal gender/sex know what it feels like to be that?? Again no sense. Gut wrenching, heart breaking like someone has replaced your own child and is trying to slowly drain away your ability to grasp reality and any beauty that exists in this world. I’m baffled why a child would do that to their parent who has grown and nurtured them their entire lives, who know them inside and out, who have changed their nappies, wiped their tears, cleaned up their vomit, sat beside them when they are ill, taken them on journeys around the world, read to them every night and patted them off to sleep. What evil has possessed them?
It's to hurt the parent. Kids individuate from their parents and that's normal behavior. Kids nowadays don't want to be "normal" anymore....they have this sick need to be the center of attention no matter what it takes. Social media with its "influencers" has completely infected the minds of adolescents/young adults with a narcissism germ. It's a sickness.
My heart goes out to you with for the deep loss and pain you are experiencing.
We have been completely cut off as well from our son, d-in-law, and their now 1 year old daughter... for refusing to succumb to the ideology. (we don't even have a trans family member…!)
We have been deemed toxic and dangerous to their family.
This entire thing is a viral Satanic disease which, under the guise of acceptance and tolerance, actually spews hatred and causes division.
I have over the past year and a half realized even more deeply my hope does not lie in those who have been seduced by the lies...but for me, in the eternal truth of God's Word.
I am His child...and no agenda can ever snatch me from the Father's Hand.
I'm sorry. Don't you wonder as I do why our son's, who are obviously tall men want to draw negative attention and ridicule to themselves? Not to mention shrinking their dating pool to a drop?
My heart goes out to you, and I'll think of you on the 31st. One of the most horrifying outcomes of the Gender Identity Cult is the destruction of families. That you are excluded from such an important event because you will not go along with the Cult and its destruction is terrible.
Praying so hard for you and everyone who's impacted by this insanity. So far ,my family have not been affected but my great grandchildren are still very young ,some not even at school yet ,so the prospect of any of them being indoctrinated
into this malevolent cult either by teachers or social media influencers fills me with dread and terror. This pernicious ideology ,including all its strands is the very worst I have ever heard of in my 76 years on this earth !! God Bless you all.🙏🙏🙏🇬🇧🇺🇲🇮🇱xxx
Thoughts and prayers. Its a tough road and many are on it with you. You are not alone.
Hopefully, brain maturation, more reality exposure and the momentum of science can help society turn this ship around. In addition to hope, we should all work actively against this every day. Ty for sharing this difficult story.
There is a long history of the "toxic family" cure in psychotherapy and the culture at large. The LGBT's have run with it. Their support network makes tons of cash from this philosophy.
Glad to hear the truth from someone in the field! I have a friend who is a LCSW and she has told me that the CEU's are now starting to delve into the "trauma" category, where as for the past few years, it has been "pro-trans". I don't know which is worse because the "trans" narrative already had a heavy family trauma ring to it? Most of these teens/young adults don't know what real trauma is and they are making it up as they go along with the help of the "mental health professionals" of today.
This is so sad. If only our children would know how hurtful they are being and I truly believe they will regret their choices looking back on how their Dear Mother wasn’t invite to their wedding. You only get married once (hopefully that’s the plan) and it’s one day you can’t do again and I truly think deep down inside both of your sons are going to miss you. They’ll put on their fake smiles but deep down they are going to regret their choice. I’ll be praying for you cuz this breaks my heart for you. Hugs
My name on this forum “ DLM” stands for “ Dear Little Mother” which is what my boys used to called me. I am over a foot shorter than they are. So thank you for calling me their “ dear mother” I will be here for them if things turn around.
The loneliest pain I could never have even imagined. So sorry for all of us. We are with you and I hope that helps.

Why do the announcements always come at someone else's big event?

We promote the antisocial idea that people with depression are entitled to make themselves "better" at the expense of their relationships.
I wonder how anyone would think severing most of your relationships helps depression.

Yes, trauma is being co-opted by the postmodernists in psychotherapy to further reinforce victim posturing.
You have hit the nail on the head with this comment!!
👏👏👏
