I celebrate each and every PITT Mother because I KNOW the pain you have and are going through. I watched my sister struggle with fear and worry for years as her son slowly went down the trans rabbit hole, and disappeared. I am now comforting a sweet friend who’s 19 year-old son recently abandoned her and is now following the Trans-Pied Piper and taking hormones. I have met several amazing Mothers, connected to PITT, who have shared their stories with me about their children who have been stolen and manipulated. I have read hundreds of your stories published on this sub stack. So, to every Mother who reads this message, please know that I will pray for each of you this coming Mother’s Day. I admire your strength, perseverance, determination, courage and above all, your unending love for your child. You are mighty warriors!

As you've shown, the true glory of motherhood is far beyond what can be shrunk into a Hallmark holiday.

The celebration is properly called Mothering Sunday and has deep roots. The fourth Sunday in Lent (when it's kept in England) was traditionally a holiday for young apprentices and girls away in domestic service to visit their homes. On their way they would pick Spring flowers to bring to their mothers.

May all the mothers who post here, bereaved by the evil trans cult, come to enjoy such God-given jubilees again, and soon!

Two beautiful posts.

Thank you to the strong women who started and run this website. You provide a gift to mothers (and fathers, siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, close friends and desisters and detransitioners) every day by providing both an outlet and a touchstone so we know we're not alone in this struggle.

Happy Mother's Day!!

Thank you for seeing me and acknowledging the grief I carry as a mom. My son is particularly angry with me (Vs my husband), I think because I am a constant reminder of the truth - I am his mom, he was born a boy and grew to be a young man. Nothing will ever change that. Nothing can ever change my history.

I am incredibly thankful for my sons and daughters-in-law who will crowd around our table on Sunday laughing and enjoying each other’s company. At the same time, I hold in my heart the one missing, the one I miss every day, knowing that we are one day closer to his return. God is a God of Hope, and I hold fast to Him. 🙏🏻

Thank you for this. This coming Sunday will be my first Mother’s Day since the gender ideology cult stole my baby boy from me. My other children will be with me, but that hole in my heart will always be there. I will always love him just the way God made him.

I feel your pain, I’m so sorry. My son has been long gone, and I have had nearly a decade of Mother’s Days without any acknowledgement from him. I once read a poem, which had a line “there’s a hole in my heart where you used to be”, which your comment reminded me of. Let us hope and pray together they all come home soon.

Nearly a decade, my heart goes out to you. Well-meaning people tell me he will come back to me, but usually those people don’t understand the hold this mentality can have and how difficult it is to walk away from a cult. They specifically targeted me as the enemy because I was the one closest to him who knew and loved his true self the best. I know there are no guarantees, but I do still hope and pray that he will come back to me one day.
