This is such a perfect analogy. Your introduction about walking from the nightmare, realizing that it’s not a nightmare, resonated deeply with me. It’s like being retraumatized again each morning. I feel your pain.

There is life after trains—for you and your son. I hope that he finds his way there. Sounds like he knows you’ll be available to meet him when that time comes. ❤️

Perfect heartwrenching analogy! Exactly what our oldest has done...We also wait and pray as we have been cut off...🙏

If only they could see what we see.

It’s so hard to watch.

Beautifully written.

Painfully real.

“…mentally you are the exact age of your trauma….”

Exactly. Beautiful writing.

Sometimes I force myself to open and read another poignant, terrifyingly real and painful post. I can see all of you, and I can feel all of your hearts. It hurts so bad. And I know your son hurts-deep deep pain. I wish somehow we could go back and stop the lies. Stop the constant lies and perfect pamphlets our sons were sold. Holding your family close; there are so many of us in this very same nightmarish boat. But we have to hold on to hope and to God's goodness. He loves them even more than we do. Keep hoping, my friend.

Thank you for your prayers. I, too, pray almost daily for all of the families caught in this nightmare. You are right on holding on to God's goodness. To me, this is a spiritual battle over the lives of our children.

Brilliantly written and heart-breaking.

I’m crying. I am afraid this is my son. I am crying because it is yours. I try hard not to hate the liars , but I can and do hate the lies and the actions of the doctors and clinics.

It is my opinion that it is not a coincidence the sons they take from us are the brightest, most brilliant, and talented of kids - trying to take away the future of an entire generation of young men (and women). Is it bad to hate evil?

My son is a Software Engineer...

I make no attempts to not hate the liars. I hate them with all my heart and my soul. I've never felt such hate before.
