I too could have written this word for word, but eight years ago. My daughter is turning 23 next month. She began cross sex hormones four years ago. We tried at that time to convince her to finish her bachelors degree at Brandeis University (which we were paying for in full), where unbeknownst to us she was receiving gender affirming therapy at their mental health clinic. She refused and accused us of being transphobic, cutting off all contact. She hasn’t spoken to us in three plus years other than to threaten us with a ‘no contact’ order after I contacted her through Instagram and told her I loved her and missed her. If your child is still a teen, step in firmly while you still have time. I love my daughter, I will be here for her if/when this house of cards implodes. We will be here if/when she needs us and/or wants her family back.😢😢😢
Completely agree. We need to take back our children. I am so sorry and respect your fully. Bravo for standing strong. She will need that when she comes back to you.
I'm sorry. It's so difficult when they are adults. Mine is graduating this weekend. We are not invited; estranged. I do hope he is happy and has a job. Maybe someday he will come back. But I can't engage in a lie. It's not in my body.

I can't engage in a lie either. Thank you for saying this.
