Lynn you have provided marvellous platforms for parents like us to connect and grieve together. The point for me now is to continue to gain strength from each other, stay strong; because most of our wandering children will one day (re)gain their senses, remember their innate love for their family, and want to come back.
When they come back, how do we cope? I am living with my 22 year old again after she estranged herself. She blamed me. She can not yet see that it was her choice to estrange herself, not mine. It seems she feels it was her right to identify as a man, and as I did not “approve” she was forced to leave home.
Most people refer to her as “ my son”, which does hurt. Yesterday my new neighbour came to chat with me and referred to “my daughter”. That really lifted my mood.
Sadly, this lovely neighbour has not heard her deep voice yet.
I have felt this "Ambiguous loss" everyday for over 3 years now. The pain is so real at times, that I can hardly breathe. Our daughter told us she was bisexual and has chosen to marry a woman. Because we believe that she has been taken over by a "cult-type" situation, we told her we can accept this as her choice, but will never approve. She has since completely cut us out of her life. I pray daily for the return of our prodigal.
Thank you, Lynn, for expressing so well what we parents are experiencing. It means the world to know that I am not alone, that other people understand my pain.
Lynn Meagher is a liar, an abuser, a threat to the community. She has several unmedicated mental health / personality disorders that she refuses to get treated while all the rest of us paid the price for 20 years. Meanwhile she thinks she's qualified to tell other people they can't take their medications either even if they want them. Lynn is a poopoo peepee dumb dumb bad humanbeing and I hate her.

I need help to rescue (kidnap) my son.

Over 10 years and still lost and broken
I hear you from Germany, your pain is palpable. I get down on my knees to pray right now.
