A perfect mother-to-daughter letter for these very testing times. I hope what should happen in response, does happen. The trans tide is definitely turning. Thank you for sharing your heart so openly and eloquently.
Beautiful and heartbreaking. I hope your daughter understands soon who really cares about her and who is really being abusive.
I keep seeing and hearing the word 'disagree' used in various contexts, especially around gender ideology, but these aren't disagreements - one party's understanding is right, and one is wrong. If a person believes they're a cow, even if a million other people tell them that they are, those people are still all wrong and the person is still not a cow. The truth is not negotiable, and this attack on objective reality is the real terrorism of gender ideology. One day, all these people will realise how they've been tricked, and they will be angry - and they will be glad that their families never gave up on them
I’m living this too. Exactly the same things you wrote I’m living. It’s a living hell. Gos help our poor girls and bring their senses back to their brains. 🙏🏼
I wrote a similar letter to my daughter when she was 18 - the part about what unconditional love is in particular. It's especially heartbreaking that they look upon their childhoods with us as abusive. My daughter does the same. It couldn't be further from the truth. She was loved, supported, and yes - parented. Parenting does not mean blind agreement. Hopefully these kids will someday wake up from their slumber and realize that they were misled, and the only people that truly loved them were those that they thought were hateful bigots - their parents.
Please write a letter to every Democratic politician you can and share your story. Until we reach them with our stories, nothing will ever change. Keep writing. Preorder copies of 'Sacrificial Lambs: A Liberal Reporter Exposes How the Progressive Left Harms Children in the Name of Gender Ideology" by Anita Bartholomew. Share the book with anyone who will read it. Thank you for your skin in this horrific 'game' all of us here never imagined we would find ourselves in.
I have heard many times to write letters but my honest opinion is that probably none of them will listen because they are wicked, and the Republicans are no different in most instances. They are just controlled opposition. I truly believe that we have only one way out of this and that is a much higher power, and I do believe that He IS going to deliver us from this evil. That is not to say we should remain silent and not send a letter, I just really think that would mostly be a wasted effort :(. Keep speaking out and share everything we can, but most of the governments whichever party they claim to be a part of are not on our side. It's like the Michael Jackson song "They don't really care about us"!
I love the way you rehearsed the good times. Sometimes our children try to rewrite history, claiming that we forced them into some gender stereotype, but we all know this is not true.
If anything, we spoiled our daughter. Taking her out to eat, traveling to various countries, ponying up cash for all kinds of extracurricular activities and coding classes.
There does seem to come a time when it’s appropriate to tell the person straight out that you will never pay a penny for them to physically harm themselves, and that you love them, even though you disagree.
As parents, we must remember that we did not cause this social contagion that sprung from the Internet and cultural propaganda. Regardless of our marital status or religion, our parenting did not cause their dysphoria in most cases.
My husband and I take our kids to church every week and we are celebrating 30 years of marriage. Our son is fine and our daughter got sucked into this cult. It doesn’t discriminate. I’m praying that your daughter will come to her senses and come back to you.
"There does seem to come a time when it’s appropriate to tell the person straight out that you will never pay a penny for them to physically harm themselves, and that you love them, even though you disagree." - YES. We did this last year. Our daughter swore she would sooner be homeless than go off T. We said that is your choice, our money will not support you so long as you are harming yourself. That includes college. After a few months trying to deal with the real world herself, she offered to go back off T until she completes college. We are taking her at her word, and I'm not convinced she is honoring her agreement, but we cannot be complicit in the destruction of the child we raised.
This brought tears to my eyes..... but keep the faith because this WILL end!!!

Another tragic story. Another loss💕
I ache with you. I find that these kids often claim to have no memory of these beautiful moments of their childhood.

Wondering if she responded? Are you in contact with her? Is she living in your home?
This was an excellent letter!
👍🏻❤️
