I used to have a son who cared about a relationship with me, but now he has decided I am an enemy for not supporting his sister's delusion of becoming a man. They are both gone. For those who have other children, you are very fortunate. Thank you for the beautifully written post.

I also have a son who cares more about his sister’s delusion than having any relationship with me. Maybe he will acknowledge my existence if he is ever in trouble. He and his sister are both prodigal. The eldest is joining them in “going no contact” All being on the autistic spectrum I suspect (two diagnosed) they see non communication as their preferred way to cope with life’s dilemmas. So none of my children respond to messages.

I wish society would understand I am not a refrigerator mother to be blamed for not supporting the taking of testosterone as supposed medication for the fad diagnosis of “gender dysphoria”. Why did the school not support my daughter? They refused to recognise her “ Aspergers” until she was suicidal. Too late. By that time she was captured by the cult.

That is so horribly painful. My heart breaks for you and I’m so sorry. It’s one thing to have a child die, it’s a whole other level of misery to have a child decide you are dead to them. 💔💔💔💔
