Wow, that shocked me. I forgot where I was (reading PITT) and didn’t realize that your son’s death was a metaphor until you spelled it out. Very powerful writing, gut wrenching, actually.
But your final comment expresses something we don’t expect to experience when an actual death has occurred. People detransition, and your son lives. There is hope that you’ll see him again, as himself, in this life.
It's a lovely vision. Strange how the movement is about so much more than transformation--it demands the past be erased and rewritten, 1984 style. I recently learned my daughter has a FB page set to private. Of course, we're not friends and I am waiting for her to block me so I won't see her profile at all (it's coming, no doubt). But the thing that struck me is the only public thing is the birth date, with a cute blue teddy bear to designate that she was born male. As if all those years of dance, of sundresses, of just being a girl, never happened. As if her childhood--the real, lived one--never existed. Bad enough that the future she could have had is gone and the present, but it has to be everything taken.
I feel for you. We all love our children no matter what. It’s just sad you have to go through this but we will always have faith and hope that someday our kids will be back with us as God created them.
I am deeply sorry for your loss. I have the same situation with my daughter. It is indescribably painful. Unique in its trauma. I don’t know how to offer comfort except that I literally feel your sorrow and suffering. As difficult as it may be, you must detach and lead your life with purpose and as much joy as possible. Time waits for no one. Hopefully these children/young adults come to their senses and return to the people who love them beyond measure. In the meantime, live with meaning and joy.❤️
I’m sorry you are facing the same. Knowing we are not alone and that there are people who understand this unique trauma is a great comfort. Forming a local support group in a city where these transitions take place has given me purpose and a chance to see change happens in some of the most hopeless looking situations.
I am so sorry for your loss! It is the most incomprehensible grief. We live this too, it's been 4 years. Our daughter has now been completely estranged to our family for the past year and a half. Deep voiced, bearded, breast-less and legally changed her name. It truly is incomprehensible pain. Yet we sit and pray and look toward the day we will get to run to our child with our arms open wide with the truest kind of love. Love like God's love. Merciful and unconditional. May God comfort us all as we wait. Love and prayers to you and ALL families suffering with this🙏🙏🙏
We all understand your pain and it is hard to describe the deep heartache, the loss, the rejection and yes, the silence. Ten years is a long time but do not give up H.O.P.E. God hears our prayers, and he counts our teardrops.
I am gradually coming to understand where this "divide and conquer" trend is coming from. The top of that pyramid is private equity, built on public money stolen. My own children are mostly estranged, so I know at least part of where you speak. God Bless.
You’re an amazing, loving mother. I’m baffled by the number of devoted parents here who would give their very lives for their children and the fact that our prodigal children, in turn, don’t recognize that love and come running back to it with full-force. It begs the ?..what is this gender ideology offering that we aren’t? Is there some chance that at least our children who were raised in faithful homes might come to the truth together..that they’re wonderfully made? Don’t they remember the good times and all our love and sacrifice we’ve extended in their behalf? There’s no love like agape love, the opposite of what is they’re being offered by this cult. When will they recognize the true gem from the shiny, colorful objects and empty promises ?
Their trans in group really pushes the suicide story (if you follow the reaction to the Cass report and stopping of puberty blockers the activists are disappointed in the lack of suicides) They honestly believe in the fiction that no medicalizing will cause them to kill themselves. The actual data is the exact opposite, but it doesn't matter for the belief.
Either their IRL friends and teachers who pushed the identity on them, or their online "friend" group who pushed it on them need them to medicalize to validate their own feelings. And our kids are certainly pushing other people's kids to medicalize to validate themselves.
The non-affirming parents who push back against the castrating hormones that weaken bones and cause cancer, and the even worse experimental surgeries are just not in the cult.
They think we want them dead, because we don't want them to self harm.
AMEN. I'm praying for all our children to return from their journey with the 'herd.' We will never lose hope. Thanks for a beautifully written reminder of all those lovely memories of who our children truly are, to help us keep the faith!
Here’s a great expose I just stumbled upon about how Planned Parenthood, an organization many of once supported, has become the main drug dealer in the gender cult:
And Jennifer Bilek reports in her recent book that there are now 700,000 minors who identify as trans in the US, with a radical rise in numbers in just the last five years. It's an epidemic, a cult, a contagion pushed by some of the darkest minds humanity has ever produced.

I wish that, for both of you.
Beautiful and poignant. I hope he wakes from his fever dream.❤️

It's a beautiful story that so accurately describes the wrenching pain so many parents are enduring.

Happy birthday to your son. I too live in hope that someday my dear son will return.

Wow. Ten years. It's almost unfathomable. I pray for all of us ROGD moms and dads and for our kids to return to us just as they were born.

I love your picture of a “return from the journey with the ‘herd.’” May it be so!

Thanks. Great read. Wow! 40,000 patients seeking “gender transition hormones” last year alone…40 percent between 18 to 22. 😢
