"You can never find rational peace whilst watching your child slowly destroy themself" this is so true and utterly terrifying. You wrote a beautiful essay. Thank you for the uplifting advice. When we let go of fear, resentment, anger, and hatred it is so freeing. Continue on your new journey! I hope your daughter returns to you one day and that a deep healing will happen for both of you. A mother's love - like none other. My daughter was never caught up in the trans-cult (thank the good Lord) but she was an addict to alcohol and some street drugs by the time she was in her mid-twenties. I spent many sleepless nights worrying, scared, and terrified that she would end up dead in an alley. She hit rock bottom and went to rehab and is now 5-years clean and sober, and the painful past is now a mere faded memory. It took me a long time to trust her again, and to believe that she was not ever going to go back to that lifestyle. Through these PITT essays, most parents long for their child to return but fear what physical condition and in what state of mind their child will be like if this were to happen. Even parents who child desisted are still full of fear that they might say or do something that will make their child turn around and go right back into the rabbit hole. This trans-cult is beyond evil and is all consuming. But there is hope as my nephew desisted and is doing remarkably well, and we are relieved that he has put this trans ideology nonsense behind him. Just like my daughter's recovery, every child that has been influenced, groomed and brainwashed can be healed. Keep the positive energy flowing and remember to take care of YOU first! Best wishes to you!
