Thank you so much for sharing your considerable well written insights into this present darkness. I'm on the "keep praying " team with you and together we will have the victory in Christ Jesus who makes all things possible and will win this battle for us. Blessings.

The idea to encourage him to detox from screens was brilliant. If we can get them away from the echo chamber long enough to hear their own thoughts, and the voices of reason from those who love them most, we have a better chance of saving them. Unfortunately for me, mine was 25 when they got their claws in her, and there would’ve been no way we could enforce something like this.

Prayers for your family. The web is full of predators and twisted individuals seeking to destroy. I watched this video today and it really hit home on these issues, it's only 13 minutes. Our kids (and parents too) really need to hear to this.

Good to hear that the mental health professional you saw didn't affirm your son's psychological distress as reality, but they still supported the idea that some people are "truly trans". No one is "truly trans", so in a sense you were very lucky that this person just thought that your son didn't tick whatever boxes they feel would qualify someone as such.

How about acknowledging that porn companies prayed on him since he was 12 right under your nose.

Addicted to porn. A humiliating fate unthinkable 20 years ago for young men. It’s so emasculating. Why do we do this to boys ? And gaslighting them that it’s no big deal, is just insane. It shakes the foundations of their world.

I’m so sorry for what you are going through. Our story is similar.

In all his years prior to university, our son never showed even a hint of gender dysphoria or discomfort with being a young man. He had real friends, spent little time online, and was very involved in school activities. He was happy. Two and a half years into university, it all changed. He struggled to find his people, he moved with every new term, he had incredibly high levels of stress and depression. I feel such deep compassion over the hurt and loneliness he must’ve been feeling. He spent more and more time online. Marijuana and alcohol became ways to cope with stress and challenges. We had once been close. Trying to have any conversation about his self-declared trans identity always ended with scripted answers and anger. He could not tolerate questions. He cannot tolerate a conversation with us about anything unless we will affirm him. And we cannot affirm a delusion. He has now essentially cut us off. We are all missing out on so much.

I really miss the young man he was, all those wonderful traits, his sense of humour, his joy, his kindness, his musical gifts, they are all gone. For now. Praying for his return. Continuing to pray for all our kids and young adults. 🙏🏻

I suggest that people that have found good doctors share their info in each state with this community because there are not many and it is really needed it. This is a cult and what it is deeply, it is the rejection of being human more than the rejection of being of certain gender. At the end they reject the physical world as biological realities and they hate their bodies. They don't want to be, they don't want to exist, and they don't know what being humans is. This is very disturbing and as Dr Assan well said it, the underlying condition is often depression but now instead to look for the causes they make parents and young very vulnerable people believe that the solution is a lifetime of hormones or drastic surgeries. Many doctors that treat these patients are transgender themselves and their motivation is convert more children to their situation, like generals that enlist more soldiers for a battle, more transgenders for the movement, more worshippers for the Trans cult, more patients for Big Pharma. At the end nobody cares about the damage souls and bodies, they are spoils of an old war.

Glad you share the video gaming topic because that is another way they get into your house, another tentacle, more demonic forces, but these spirits need human consent, so I am pretty sure at some point the video games ask for a consent to do something. I do not know much about gaming but I know about spiritual battles and I know at least one satanist and they use video games to normalize their activity, spells, hexes, etc. This is beyond if you believe or not in the spiritual world, they believe and they manipulate people and of course the ultimate goal is destruction. Thank you!

That would be potentially harmful to therapists, particularly those in blue states or even in red states that have "conversion therapy" bans. The American Psychological Association is completely captured and drinking the queer/trans Kool-aid. Several therapists have been investigated and sanctioned for not aligning with the APA. You can go to www.therapyfirst.org to find therapists who are not-pro medicalization. Ultimately, parents need to vet any therapist that they are considering for their child.

You are right I forget we are living in a police state country. It is not in the open as in China but we are being under surveillance for s long time under the pretentious of a fake democracy and tax slavery.

Edit: typos!! Mom22, Katryn Rose Emily Ann ( sorry and others, typing fast coz need to do something), just came online to check my bank account, and saw that people had liked my comment 'muchsupport and love from France', and suddenly tears welled up and I felt myself choking, because it hit me hard , how much we are all suffering for our beautiful babies and needing each others' support. i got so emotional, I wished we coudl share a space. And also I am so angry with the doctors and othe professionals, saddened by the lost youth especially those virtue signallers who do not realise the harm they are causing by cheering on a lostteen or youth into this mutilating nightmare. My dears, dear parents who went through or are going through this pain, and fear, or rather terror for our child, I send much much love and support and I hope with Rfk Jr, this trans nightmare will go away and detransitioners will be helped psychologically, and socially to get back to normal, and no more kids will fall into this trap. And I really want that one in Matt Walsh's film, that man-woman who operated on the poor Jazz to be in prison. Take care and hang on to your kids , and for the ones under 18, do your best to keep them offline; it helps a lot, i think that helped my daughter.

Exactly our experience. It all started with Club Penguin then Minecraft all the experts said was a great thing for kids then Homestuck & the out of nowhere trans identity. Now we have an adult daughter with no education & a partner that she handpicked from some LGBQT dating app that want to move into our house because they have no prospects no money & no plan but are going to dictate our behavior in our house including telling me that I have to take accountability for my past actions because I have generational trauma that I have passed down to her. I wanted to take a damn hammer to every computer in the house but was fought every step of the way. Now I warn everyone to keep their kids away from the internet at all costs. We should be traveling & getting ready for retirement but now my life is a nightmare.

Gosh, that is us too. So hard to move on & find pleasure in life. At a time when you should be slowing down, reflecting on your life, enjoying a new relationship evolving with your adult kids. Shattered. It’s like, ‘huh, what just happened’

It's so upsetting to read story after story where the pipeline and script are almost exactly the same - even between girls and boys. I just want to scream at the media, at society, at doctors, at my own kid: DONT YOU SEE THE PATTERNS AND PARALLELS? This is not coincidence! There is so much connection to anime, porn, and these online gaming communities that I had no idea at the time were 100% trans identified people. These were the worlds my daughter fell into. It's been six years and she's more entrenched than ever. My daughter's whole room is a shrine to anime characters and Sonic the Hedgehog, who the trans community has adopted as one of their icons. Hoping your son finds his way out of this nightmare.

We have a daughter, but exact same story! Sims games. What is going on online?

A story like mine. Thank you for sharing. I was so naive about what was going on online, until the harsh reality of online gaming addiction shattered our home, our lives, and my son, who now believes he is a woman, and thinks oestrogen is the answer, guided by his WPATH psychiatrist and 'transgender' family physician...

WPATH is a disgrace & the doctors that subscribe to their guidelines are scum that will get their just desserts eventually one way or another. Class action lawsuits anyone?

Thank you for sharing this.

I’ve been on a five-year journey with my child about this. I know it’s not true, but the social influence, ROGD, bleeding hearts, guru, doctor, and the pharmaceutical money trail has really impacted my child who is now old enough to make their own decisions.

It’s a razor, thin line of being present and not alienating and witnessing how she will mutilate herself because she’s bought the nonsense of “I was born in the wrong body” and the other narratives at play.

Blessings to you and your family.

I’m right there in the same boat as you! It’s frustrating as loving parents especially when they can’t articulate events from their childhood that specifically brought them to this decision. It’s delusional for sure! Prayer brings peace in this battle! Praying for your son and your family 🙏
