Now, when I understand properly, he got enrolled in the pseudocult of transgender. You feel like you lost him. How to get back to your beautiful boy?

Now, when I understand properly, he got enrolled in the pseudocult of transgender. You feel like you lost him. How to get back to your beautiful boy?
First, strip your faith of all cultural garments. Love is one. Consciousness is colourless, babies are nude when born. That is how we come towards God. Be your simplest self. Do not cling to scripture or paraphernalia for your beliefs, trust what is right in front of your eyes, think with your own thoughts, however painful that may be.
Second, ask him who he is in relation to you and why he prefers others to tell him who he is. He grew up with you and now he wants to be his own unique self. He got utterly confused by the suggestion, that you can be whatever you want to be in puberty. Fact is, you cannot and when you cut your garments now, your dress will be damaged for life. Stand on his side, look through his eyes, be his best friend.
Third, be your own best self. Prepare yourself for a journey, a fight, a battle, death. Let go of all pretence. Value what you have and have been given, then let go. Stand in the light, surrender. Look at what you are bowing for.
Imagine this happening in China, India, Russia... you have to stay firm. Be his mother. Now go to his father and check out what needs to be checked in. Get yourself a friend in him. Together you are more than just two people.
Good luck. I am sorry that you have to endure this. I hope my words from sunny Germany make sense.
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful words from sunny Germany.
Our son suddenly disappeared six months after he came out in 2014 while we were trying to figure out what in the world just hit us.
I choose to “cling to” the One who gave us scripture. “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” Psalm 23:4 And what a comfort He has been!
I have headed your advice to “go to his father” - we’re planning a date tonight.
Very beautiful words.
