Beautiful! Thank you for the gift of this song. May it encourage PITT parents that their love is not in vain and that one day their children will return to them.

Tears & more tears.

I have not seen my beautiful son for 3 years. What will it be like when I do

We lost a young man recently in our otherwise conservative and tight knit community, from suicide. His parents grieve as does the entire town. All parents who have truly lost a child to “trans” are grieving no less so than these parents who lost a child through death. My heart goes out to all who have loss. I pray for my own grandsons, that they remain the happy and productive individuals that they are today. I pray for our nation of vulnerable children. God, help us.

Kathy, this is not so, there IS hope for our kids and for us, as long as they are alive! (although I agree our grief is deep)

I saw an interview between Lisa Marchiano and a cult expert. He said that 90% of people who are in cults leave them eventually. Our kids are young, life is long, and this vile thing will not last.

To all of you whose kids have gone over to trans - hang on! (my kid is hovering on the edge, so I know how painful this is)

The cult expert also said the most important thing for parents to do is to KEEP THE RELATIONSHIP GOING TO THE EXTENT YOU CAN - LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN, EVEN IF THEY DO NOT STEP THROUGH.

When this cult tires of chewing on our kids and spits them out, they will need their family.

Keep the door open.

Hugs to all .

Omg, I need this hope right now💔 I need it so bad. But some days I feel I and go on living between the truth and this lie. Some days I want to disappear or walk away from it all. How do I survive the wait and the hope and the possible loss?

Only this cult has permeated almost all of society. How do they leave when the laws, schools, doctors, and media are all involved in grooming and enforcing the cult? Anyone going against their ideology is bullied and censored. Most evil cults are at odds with normal society. This one has made normal society bend to its false idea that sex is changeable and based upon a feeling. Our youth are their prey only because they are vulnerable enough to believe and naive enough to put their trust in the superiorities telling them lies. 90% will eventually leave? How? And if they eventually do, it will be with a lot of damage done and irreversible. Lost time, lost lives to a false and evil idea destroying their healthy bodies. Most of these youth need real therapy, instead they’re getting harmed by the very people who should be protecting and healing them. This is a nazi-like rule. Our children are the victims. These evil monsters ruling society now hate youth, hate family life, hate biological sex. They are out to destroy. How do we stop them? Most people can’t even recognize the evil in it. Society has turned into a bunch of cowardly idiots following the trend. The few that speak out are hushed and vilified.

Yes I hear you! Living in this world when you are silenced, ridiculed and hated upon for trying to speak up and protect your child. I feel like I died and woke up in the upside down world. The constant bleak feeling in my mind and the constant shock of one minute there is hope and the next it is gone again. The faith that you see a positive change, only to discover your child was lying and is still in full swing towards self destruction.

I know there is hope. I have met many detransitioners. I pray for them and love them for their courage, too! ❤️

Yes Kathy, sorry. You never said there was no hope.

I think I was just trying to remind people their situations are not like a child who has actually died, as the odds are good they will be reconciled at some time in the future.

And I would never presume to say our grief is as bad as our child actually being dead, but I think it can be more prolonged in that there is no "resolution" You don't know if you will ever see your child again. And there is the complication that they chose it which is not the case for a death (unless it is a suicide as in the case you mentioned).

Thanks for your good wishes to all us parents (it wasn't clear to me from your post if you too have a trans ID child)

This beautiful song reminds me of a vivid dream I had long ago when my daughter was young and innocent. In the dream I was standing at an open glass door looking out into a bluish icy cold world. Suddenly my little girl, half naked and coming from behind, ran past me into the maze of icy hills that was before me. In my dream I thought I forever lost her. I have sometimes reflected back on that dream in my dark hours how it actually feels that very way today. I hope on that she will find her way back from the cold icy world she’s escaped to. It’s my reality now. My prayers are continually for her everyday.

Oh wow. I have a picture of my little girl with a shard of ice from Lake Michigan a few years ago on a road trip during some dark days. This is all I can see thinking about this song. Wish I could post it here. 😞

Thank you for this. Your haunting song has me pushing back tears with memory of my beautiful baby son whom I could not protect. Memory hurts, and yet it seems more tragic to forget. As deep as my pretend grown up son is into his pretend female fantasy, I am as deep into my real grief for his real self being eroded. It all seems so unnecessary and horribly unfair.

“Pretend grown up son is into his pretend female fantasy…” Thank you for those words. I’m right there with you; I have a son living the same fantasy. Some days I grieve and wonder should I forget what it was like before this insanity took over my son or should I try to remember. Some days, I’m angry and jealous. I Why do other people get to celebrate normal milestones with their children (marriage, babies, holidays) while I watch my son engage in behavior that is destroying himself physically and mentally?

I ask the same thing.... How did I get here? Should I pretend the past never existed? What do i do? I cant seem to get over or past this! I Am broken
