I can so relate. I’m sorry for your pain. Ironically it was my son who said at the passing of his father (4 years before he would announce his transition) that said nothing can ever take away our memories and the times we had together. Nothing could ever change that love. I often remember that and maybe one day, our boys will come back to us. I pray for this everyday.

I’m so sorry, I feel for you and can identify with so much you said, especially watching Little Bear together. I remember an episode where the mom says “You’re my Little Bear” I repeated that phrase to my son for 20 yrs … I so miss my Little Bear. Hopefully all our cubs return to us some day 🙏🏻❤️

This is my story as well. Standing on the sidelines, powerless, watching my beloved, handsome, brilliant son commit slow motion suicide of self guts me anew daily. I think it broke his dad. I'm struggling to enjoy the positive things in my life. Rocketing between profound grief and raging anger, I find myself emotionally disconnecting from my child just to preserve my own health.

Someday, affirming a dissociative identity and giving cross-sex hormones to ADHD/autistic people or otherwise traumatized people who simply want to escape their emotional distress will be considered medical malpractice.

Just like lobotomies.

Just like electroshock therapy.

Just like regression therapy.

Someday. Hopefully that day comes before I lose my son entirely.

I gave birth to a baby boy 25 years ago. That is an undeniable fact. Part of the record of my life and his. He has presented as a pretend female for 10 years now. I will NEVER call him my daughter, use wrong pronouns, or use his legal woman name. To do so would be actually killing off my son. No mother who actually loves the child they brought into the world could ever purposely kill them off.

The pain of this hits so deeply. My son came out as Non Binary but only after I saw something on his computer and asked him about it. He pretty much told me it is non of my business and I shouldn't have any feelings about it. Hecwill be turning 25 soon. He really didn't say or do anything more until recently I started noticing changes. He shaved his full beard, arms etc and has started growing his hair long is trying to lose weight even though he lifts super heavy. I am so confused and can't say anything to him about this subject and know I find out he is injecting estradiol WHY!!!! I am so mad and scared and so sad to see my son injure himself and not have anyone to talk to about it. I can't tell his dad, I think itvwill break him. We love him so much and I feel like I am losing him.

I feel your pain - we need to hold onto God’s mercies for our lost children to come back to themselves 🙏

I am so sorry. I can only begin to imagine the heartbreak.

May God in His mercy and infinite power find a way to restore to you the years the locusts have taken.

The anger I feel at the people who encourage, condone, affirm and popularize this movement is immeasurable.

Our children have been captured by terrible ideas that far too many have let live. The Trans Cult forces acceptance of a false universe onto everyone. Trans is misaligned with reality, biology, religion, history, and science. The damage done is incalculable. This terrible idea will one day be thrown on top of the ash heap of other terrible ideas. Sanity and reality will prevail, how long I don't know. In the meantime do not let lies pass through you and we need comedians to mock this Trans Trainwreck as it will be a sign that the dam is cracking, there are already signs that it is, but being able to openly mock is what is needed most at this time.

The more i look at it, the more i feel, it isnt about sex or gender, but about finding the way to be "more equal" as the others. No questions are allowed. But the price is very high, cognitive dissonance leads inevitably to mental illness. Even with affirmation they cant get rid of it.

None has studied how much harm alone the erasing of the given name causes. How much harm the loss of childhood pictures means. The loss of connections, all that stories...

I have often felt losing my beautiful daughter to the caricature of the “man” she has become is like losing her to death without being able to even have a funeral.. There is no safe place to mourn the loss - especially in CA where we live.. We’re expected to celebrate “his” bravery or we’d be called out as transphobes.

I don’t live in CA, but my mother does. It’s created a rift in our relationship because she can’t understand why I can’t just accept it and quit being sad

I’m so sorry. I have the same situation, my heart goes out to you.

Lets keep on believing that our sons will come back. sooner than later. This is all we have, hope that one day they will accept who they are, accept and love themselves and know that they have always been loved and cherished, becuase they are and were always incredible.
