It's been two years since our 41-year-old, married son called to tell us that he had decided the cause of the mental distress he had been experiencing is that he is in the wrong body.
Your story broke my heart. I'm praying for your son, his wife, and their precious daughter. Satan is having a heyday with his lies about the identity of our children! May you feel the comfort of the only sure thing we have, the wisdom & power of a loving and compassionate God; He gave His only son that we might be able to draw near to Him for strength!
I want to share one more thing, because when my son got sucked into this cult (which even he called it a cult) about 5 years ago, I was lit on fire to find out what the heck was going on. It's been going on since long before covid, it just exploded during covid in my opinion because there were so many more young people at home online. I have spent thousands of hours listening, reading, traveling, and learning. I would encourage you to do a google search for "out of shadows mike smith" and watch the the 1:17:58 long documentary. It explains a lot. You can also go to stopworldcontrol dot com and look around. Watch the docuseries "The Fall of the Cabal". It too tells a lot. My son who Praise God came out of this about 9 months ago talks about a lot of these things now...so I have no doubt it is real. Our world was taken over by pure evil, but I will give you the encouragement now that evil HAS been defeated and in the not too distant future we are going to see the "people" who have been involved are going to face judgement and justice will be served. THIS Is why so many of our kids have been sucked into this madness. Although I believe there are things that we and our kids do to make us/them vulnerable, it's not really our/their fault because we had no idea of the pure EVIL lurking in the shadows. Knowledge is power and the more we know about how we got here, the better we are equipped to fight against it. The takedown of this evil will be biblical and may look very scary, but it has to happen. Hang in there because I do believe all of your prodigals will be coming home. Keep the faith!
I have often felt, like you, that it would be easier to accept were my child , with whom I have had no contact for three years, were dead. It's a horrible thing to say and those who are not in our position find it difficult that a loving parent would say such a thing. But for us, parents of the missing, it might bring comfort. As it is, we have no where to mourn, few people we can talk to who can truly understand how this gender ideology feels for the parents of the gone
I get it. It's not that you wish them dead, it's more like if the died they would not have been going away by their own choice. They would still love us and we could hold that in our hearts instead of them choosing to delete us from their lives.
M.I.A. = Missing in America. This is so heartbreaking. Too many to count. The lost. Trans is an evil cult. I pray that the lies will be revealed, and that the truth will be told and believed, and supported. In the meantime, the trans ideology continues to grow, snare, and steal away our loved ones. Worse than a thief in the night...worse than a nightmare...worse than the boogeyman. Oh dear God, help us. Please!
Thanks for this essay. My son, 38 has also decided that he is no longer a father or a man. He has two small children and a wife that not only supports this decision but encourages it. Unlike your son, he is looking to keep our relationship going, but only if we agree with his decision. I have told him that I can not support a decision that is so detrimental to to his mental and physical health, as well as a terrible burden for his two young sons. I believe this transgender ideology is a cult, and dangerous to everyone. He had a wonderful childhood with no inclination towards this way of thinking. However, he is now rewriting history and says he always felt this way. The devastation to our entire family can not be overstated and after two years, I am beginning to accept that the extended family I longed will not work.
I wish a group of parents and siblings bring a class action against eg the doctors who trans vulnerable patients like your son without any evidence of positive effect.
I’m sad for you. Our family is in the same situation with our 35 yr old daughter. We know where she is, but she refuses to reply to any contact I make. It is as if she died, but mourning is done privately. No one talks about her. I was recently cleaning up my photos. It’s heartbreaking to see the lovely, happy daughter we used to have. It’s been 3 years now since I heard her voice. All I can do is pray that she’s safe.
I am so sorry that your family is going through this. I am especially sorry for your granddaughter to be caught in the middle of this. My son was 26-1/2 when he went to the clinic and after one visit was put on estradiol that ultimately killed him after 18 months of increased dosage. I can assure you that having your child alive is much better than visiting him at a cemetery. I wish there was something I can say to you other than I will pray for you and your family. Mental illness and this twisted gender ideology has taken far too many of our children. My heart breaks for you and your family.
I'm sure you didn't think about this, but your use of the POW/MIA logo in comparison to your son's situation is inappropriate. He's not a POW or even a victim. He's a grown man having a mid-life crisis.
It's a shame that there are MDs that will do this to him, but his problem is that he objectifies women and is likely watching too much porn.
POW/MIA is just a figure of speech. It is a metaphor to try to describe the unique pain of losing a son or daughter to this ideology. Sometimes it is difficult to know how to describe the unique pain and loss we suffer. Obviously it is not meant to make a concrete comparison to an actual POW. And you don't know if he is motivated by objectifying women or porn. The author did say he suffers from mood disorders and possible serious mental illness. That may be the motivator.
How do these wives go along with it? I think they are just trying to go along with society accepting this garbage. It has to be horrific for them that the man they fell in love with and father of their children now wants to be a woman, they are hiding their pain.
You wrote “…. my son suffering from a mood disorder and possible schizophrenia”. Which is going untreated, and when his ‘transition’ is complete he will still be mentally ill and his brain disorder will be much worse because his hormones and metabolism will be malfunctioning. No injection or pill can duplicate a healthy human biochemistry.
Your son is jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire.
You already know this. I am not chastising you. Your grief is well founded. When you gave birth you invested your love and your hopes. God help us.
I am so sorry for the heartbreak you are suffering. I am so disgusted with the mental health industry in this country. There’s so many things going on that are related but aren’t helping anyone & this trend of adult children going no contact & painting any mistakes their parents made as abusive & traumatic is destroying the world. We may not be perfect & we made mistakes but we were so much more resilient than this.

My 35 yo married son has decided he is Trans. His wife is going along with it.
He decided this on his own a year ago- but told me last summer. I am still reeling from the news.
prayers for you and your son....this rips apart families and hearts...prayers.

Heartbreaking. I am so sorry. A cautionary tale for those of us with younger children. No age is safe from this evil.

Yes, we need to do this, the world over
Wishing you the best of luck.

💔 Devastating. I'm so sorry Natalie. Tears reading your words. Wishing you strength 🫂.
That’s a great explanation of our children. MIA. We spent their whole lives protecting them only to have society destroy them
Exactly so. As in previous generations sons were sent to war, our children went “missing in action”.

This is exactly my point. POW/MIA is not a figure of speech they are actual service members and it is an inappropriate metaphor
❤️ 🫂. Our son is 31 and changed his legal name and is on year 4 of hormones
I just don't know how to cope with it. My 35 yo married son has decided he is Trans. His wife is going along with it.
He decided this on his own a year ago- but told me last summer.
How do these wives go along with it? I think they are just trying to go along with society accepting this garbage. It has to be horrific for them that the man they fell in love with and father of their children now wants to be a woman, they are hiding their pain.
