So are they being bullied because they resist joining the cult at first? I really wonder why all of these kids are having drastic personality changes. They never seem to open up to their parents and reveal what is going on, why?
We all beat ourselves up about how we could have raised out kids better to protect them, but you did so much right, limited screens, held off with the phone, outdoors sports, family outdoor time, even that wasn’t enough. I hope this has a happy ending .
You did all the right things, and still this ideology came for your son. This is why parents must not indulge the tendency to blame ourselves, or think that if we had done X, Y or Z differently, there's be a different outcome. We were in a battle that we didn't even know was happening, and after six years, I've come to believe there is nothing any of us could have done to stop it. It was already too big and too powerful.
Both my children were very active in scouts from the beginning and completed their highest honors. I remain an active adult in the program thirty years later in the venturing program. I love adventure and I treasured sharing it with my family. The happy family chapter closed 3 years ago with my daughter in the trans cult. Overnight, from kids that called her mom as the positive influence, to political left chaos. All she talked about was blue states and Bidens legacy. The heroes Biden called trans. Suddenly, she got tattoos and frequented the marijuana stores. She went from two jobs at age 23 to one then none and wanted "me time". She went from two degrees in a great job of five years to waiting tables then drugs. Her new room mate replaced the other, going be he pronouns. He and they, went as blue as could be into Newsome territory. It's been over two years since she moved, no contact of course with anyone here. She would be 27 later this year. Most people would never understand this kind of pain. I hurt and cry every single day. Barely existing. It sucks.
Peppercape, so many young adults caught up in this madness leave good jobs or college and continue to spiral downwards. It is so heartbreaking. California is one of the worst states to be in. :( I'm sorry for your heartbreak. We are all part of a parent group that we wish we weren't a part of. Try to find some joy for yourself. You deserve to be happy.
One of the ways americans have fallen apart is, as in some other countries too, welfare and medical benefits are extended without a work requirement. While its not the whole problem, social assistance programs enable people to avoid gainful employment, and facilitate choices such as marijuana and alcohol which would not be viable if one had to show up for work every morning.
It does suck all the way to hell but you're important also. Your life matters as much and the world needs people like you. It's not over. Keep your hope up. There's still room for a happy ending.

You left me wanting more! Looking forward to Part 3. Thank you for sharing.

That describes it perfectly, "we were in a battle that we didn't even know was happening" we have to believe that the light will win 💜

Heartbreaking. I weep with you.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Please take care of yourself. The tide is turning.
Appalling! I am devastated for you and the rest of your family.
I am so sorry 😞 🙏🙌✨️
