I am wondering affection deprivation might have been a factor for you. My own daughter is dysphoric and I am currently doing some work on our family's dynamics, and my older child told me that the way I and my husband have parented was by providing material comfort but not so much emotional comfort and that she (the older daughter, not dysphoric) had suffered from it, not being able to find support. My husband and I had also been fighting a lot over the past years and sharing too much with our children. The younger one has suffered more (being younger) and also looked for support online.
Anyway, just. Thought.
Thank you so much for sharing your story, every insight is so helpful for us, parents. I truly hope you heal fully and find your path to happiness.
