This really hit me. My son left a year and a half ago after accusing me of things unimaginable. I am apparently the worst parent on earth because I’ve raised my voice to get my child to be on time so that I was on time for work when he lived with me. One day, he literally said, “mom, who cares if you’re a little late, it’s not like you’ll lose your job”….. well I literally WOULD lose my job if I’m late more than 3 times without legitimate excuse. Anyway, after a year and almost a half he decided it would benefit him to move back home. I helped him get his drivers license and many other things during that time. He said he was taking a gap year from college and was going to get a job…. Apparently I was holding him too accountable for putting in resumes…. Because he left 5 weeks later while I was at work with just a cryptic note…. There had been no argument or anything. He is now living a mile down the road with his lesbian friend and her parents…. And are on vacation this week… my only child is vacationing with another(very woke) family. I am decorated! He won’t answer my calls or texts and I don’t know what to do 💔

Make your overtures every so often, even if he never responds. The message of caring is for you, because your do care, and he is in a compromised situation. Only he is in the position to walk himself towards you. Helene advised me to not anguish when he is not ready, but to offer a simple caring message every so often. He'll remember the parent in the wings when he's capable to move towards you.

I couldn’t write to my daughter again, she’s been so cruel to all of us. My last email was on 18 th March, and I also attempted to speak to her physically on that day and she told me to go away and leave her alone. I’m not going to put up with this anymore.

It's not you, so don't blame yourself. This cult is vile enough to see us as a threat to the evil they want to perpetrate. They convince the children that we are the enemy, we are not, we are the only thing standing between them and our children. They are predators who want to demoralize and destroy our children, they are expert at manipulation and want you to blame yourself, don't.

There is nothing to do other than feel tremendous relief that he is not your problem anymore. You did all that you could. The saying "living well is the best revenge" comes to mind. Live your life and try to find peace and contentment in other things. Looking at the positive side, he is in a house as opposed to homeless.

Yes, and somebody else has to feed him not you. My daughter’s glitter family are feeding and entertaining her. I’m saving money 😄

How can these glitter families be so horrible? I have discovered that my daughter spends so much time in her girlfriend’s address and not once did the “parents” (groomers more like it) who live there ever telephoned me to say she was ok. I will never forget or forgive. They know we’re deeply concerned for my daughter because of how much we tried to communicate with her but because their own daughter is a lunatic self harmer they probably assume my daughter gives her daughter stability. This is a message to all the glitter families out there who might be reading this: We know who you are, we know what you’re doing and one day there will be a reckoning
