I’m evil!
you assured me.
I asked you not to harm yourself.
I’m awful!
or so you say.
I said that you were fine as is.
You bigot!
you yelled at me.
I asked you to come back home soon.
You’re so sick!
you texted me.
Try living as a woman first.
Love is gone!
you promised me.
I can’t endorse testosterone.
Goodbye mom!
you never said.
There’s no such thing as a male brain.
**********************
You’re not male!
Your sex is real.
I don’t know if you’ll ever learn.
They’re lying!
It’s obvious.
They tell you that your body’s wrong.
I know you!
You can’t recall.
I raised you and took care of you.
I love you!
I accept you.
I want you to accept yourself.
That’s not you!
It’s all a trick.
No need to change your whole body.
I’m crying!
I’m empty now.
You left and you’re not coming home.
I’m here alone.

All a parent wants is for our kids to love themselves and not self-harm. And for that we are demonized. You are not alone. Too many parents are in the same position. Kind regards from another parent who lost their daughter too.
Giving you a virtual hug… I know it doesn’t mean much, but you’re not alone in the sense that you represent thousands of brokenhearted parents. I’m so sorry for your and my loss.
