My trans identified (FTM) child did run away at age 18 for 6 months and after 2 years of hell it was a relief. I had similar dreams about adopting another child with her given name and living my life for me. My child is now 20 and has returned home. She no longer identifies as a gay trans man but still identifies as non-binary and uses they pronouns. She is more respectful and understanding, and still her own person but more what you would expect from a normal 20 year old. Please spend time cultivating your own life. Show her that she can't break you. You can still love her but you can let her go emotionally. The pain I went through when my daughter was ages 16 to 19 was terrible and it still shakes me when I think back on it.

This is very interesting because she sounds like my son. He had severe ADHD, possible autism and became addicted to sissy porn on the Internet After being very masculine and completely straight all his life.

He is now fully trans with Autogynaephilia and we don’t speak at all.

He started off watching trans porn, then got groomed by a trans person online for over a year and then started to fancy trans women and have sex with them and then decided that ultimately he wanted to be one.

I know it’s much more rare in girls, but it really does sound like the female version of AGP. I believe it’s called autoandrophylia

I’m so sorry, you sound as if you’re going through absolute hell with this. Has she always been so oppositional? I know it’s an autistic trade, but she sounds like absolute hell on earth to live with. And of course I totally understand that you won’t get any sympathy or support from people, even though your life has been blown apart.

There is only so much we can take as parents and constant abuse and misery becomes unbearable after awhile. I was diagnosed with PTSD and I doubt my life will ever be happy again even though I have no contact now you can never get over a child doing this. It was easier for me in that my son is much older and he cut himself off first, but now I find I don’t actually want anything to do with him. I am so traumatised by everything that he put me through.

My heart really goes out to parents with younger children as you can’t really step away.
