Thank you dear mom, for sharing your experience. Our hearts go out to you.

This cult brainwashes victims and attempts to sever family relationships.

May I commend you for the revolutionary act of telling the truth? Words of truth (and love) can't be easily forgotten.

I read in one of the books on trans that our kids have two personalities- the cult personality and the true personality. When you get the angry child who calls you names, won't have a calm conversation, etc., you are getting the cult personality. When you get the behaviors of the child you remember - the sweetness, the loving words or actions - you are dealing with that child's true personality. Your real child is still in there somewhere. Hang in there momma.

You are an amazing mother and the love for your daughter is obvious. You are not affirming - good for you! The hatred that these confused children exhibit to their parents is mind boggling, and so very cruel. You are not alone on this sub stack, and we all feel your pain. Sending you a virtual hug and many prayers that your daughter will desist and return home.

Sadly relatable. I would add that those angry texts are not "you". Those words fed to you, that you texted me, do not come from someone who knows or cares about you.

What are those simple truths so hard to grasp?

This is true love

Sending love your way. ♥️ Also love for all of our children caught in this troubling space. They deserve better. We continue to fight for them in whatever way we are able to, because they can’t fight the battle for themselves that they cannot see.

I miss the days when being one's authentic self meant going overseas to smoke pot and study another religion and find out that happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have.

This club is one none of us ever wanted to belong to. 💔

This post by an experienced 30yr veteran psychologist on X is worth the trouble to read https://x.com/Psychgirl211/status/1808825717204922755?t=ypNxzgY-rQ4mZMvOT7jORw&s=09

In the last month emails from Levine and a video from Vanderbilt have made the monetary objective clear. Our kids are an income source, and billing code, worth more after surgery to the doctors than before.

I have heard all those responses exactly like that. It must be something the evil ones make as a mantra of responses to their loving parents. If they don’t accept you … say this! It’s so sad they can’t step outside themselves and see what’s really going on.

I do not know when this horrible era is going to end but I pray that Jesus sends a “Phillip”to everyone’s kids to show them the Truth! I sent my son a copy of The Dogma Of Hell and he and his trans friends laughed about it at a little arty he had. But then a little later the person he was living with left and now he moved away from that person. I’m hoping that he changes.

Anyway Happy 4th of July everyone as happy as it can be at least we have freedom in America.

They are (I should say we are as I was part of it) told what to say, briefed on what parents will (most likely) answer and what to respond.

But one can unlearn and become brainwashing free. It's a journey.

We will overcome.

Yes unlearn better yet refuse to affirm !

It's so hard to watch, isn't it? Hormones will make one incontinent but won't fix the underlying issues.

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.
