The persistent "should've" thoughts, contemplating alternate scenarios, echo incessantly in my mind. The indescribable depth of emotions surfaces as I grapple with the unknown, unaware of where you, at only 15, lay your head each night. It's been over 100 days now since you slipped out the door at 3:27 in the morning, with two backpacks and a skateboard, forgetting your helmet.
I live in Oregon... my daughter is a social worker at a school district in suburban Portland. She is pretty moderate in her views and is rethinking her job situation as she says she has no power to advocate for parents, especially regarding transitioning. It took her ( she is a Millennial) becoming a parent to realize these issues are insane and harm children. She works at the school district she grew up in and is strongly considering home schooling now. The irony is staggering.
Yes the pain is crushing. I am a grandmother to a FTM and my own daughter has to deal with this crushing loss of her own daughter for over 5 years via the Ohio school and medical community. They didn’t take her out of the home, but it got close. In the end Charlotte aka “Charles” is going to the University of Cincinnati, which has a strong Trans cult there. We have not heard from her for over a year. The not knowing is crushing me and my daughter.
How do you grieve someone who isn't dead? This is the same as a death but worse because you are stuck knowing they are alive in this world but not knowing if you will ever have a relationship with them again. I will do anything for my children and fight any enemy, but how do I do that when there is a strong community made up of "experts", authorities and laws fighting me back. How do I balance other children's needs and my own emotional well being against someone who is so lost that no longer see me as a mother, but as the enemy. I don't have a trans child. But I do have an adult daughter that is part of the community that supports it. She has her own mental issues that are not far from these struggles. She is in my life but it's very very strained. It's her rules and not much accountability on her part to compromise in beliefs and if we express differently, you don't know when the communication will be cut off. She is 25 and can't manage her own life because she wants to find a struggle to be included in the norm. This trans virus was designed to destroy the nuclear family. Faith and family are the strongest defense against the global elites that want complete control over our lives. This virus is attacking both faith and family. We never knew we would be sacrificing our children, but there is a war and we must find a way to fight back.
My heart goes out to you. My 19 yr old stepson, who I’ve blessed to have been able to help parent the last 13 years has decided he wants to transition. We refuse to pay for medicine or surgery or let him, as long as we’re paying for his school, etc. We’re trying to support him being a more feminine male, but refuse to fall for this brainwashing agenda that has him paying the pharmaceutical companies the rest of his life and erode the person we know he is. We’ve been accused of not being supportive and wouldn’t we rather have a “trans daughter than dead son”. The fear mongering and gas lighting is beyond comprehensible, it’s truly crazy-making and we refuse to fall prey to it. Being in Georgia, and never before being this immersed in trying to understand what’s going on, I had no idea stories like yours were happening. I can’t fathom what you’re experiencing. Lots of love from Georgia and prayers that you’ll be reunited soon 🙏🏽

I hope she can find a way to stay and improve things..

So sorry for you, your daughter and your granddaughter
Thanks for sharing, what is happening with our kids is beyond painful.
The pain is crushing. You've expressed it.
