After 10 months of prayer, my daughter has finally contacted my mother for the first time. She walked away from our family, because she’s been indoctrinated by college, and brainwashed by the LGBT community.She will be meeting with my mother and me on Friday afternoon, because she wants to talk to us about something ‘important’!
Through other avenues of communication, I know that she is considering changing her gender from a woman to a man. She wants to have a full mastectomy, and has Buzzed her beautiful long hair off. The last time she met with my mom, she asked her if she would introduce her as her grandson if she transitioned.
I’m hoping and praying that she will not make this life-changing decision, because she already suffers from severe depression, and is suicidal. I fear that if she goes through this transition, she will become one of the 43% of transgender community that commit suicide.
She was raised Christian, went to Christian schools for grade school, and has walked away from The Lord. Please pray for her, that God will work a miracle in her life. Pray she will give up the cult that she’s entered, and finally looked to Lord for peace joy and love in her life.
This whole experience is just heartbreaking, because I know I have to be the voice of reason moving forward. I must tell her the truth, and that what she wants to do is not God’s will for her life, and she is fearfully and wonderfully made in his image. There is nothing that she needs to change about how she was created by God.
I know that in so doing, she will reject me finally - for the last time, and walk away from our family for good. But I cannot validate her mental illness, and must be the voice of truth crying out in the wilderness.
Please and thank you in advance for your prayers and support.
Although none of my business, try accepting her choice. Wouldn’t you rather have her in your life than not? You might end up being riddled with guilt and regret if you disown her. In the scheme of things, who gives a shit if she transitions — she’s alive! Every child needs a mom (and grandma)! Prayers sent!
I hope I’m not sounding judgmental or sanctimonious. You are not going to change her mind, so why not try to support her? Plus, there’s a thing called detranansitoning.
You’re not being judgmental at all. I would never disown my child, I’ve already accepted other things in her life that I don’t agree, but I’ve always loved her unconditionally! She knows that. It’s been her choice to walk away from our family, we’ve never asked her to go away. I think about her all the time, and I hate that she’s causing this division. I can still speak the truth and love to her, and still love her unconditionally whatever choice that she makes. So thank you for pointing that out.
I’ve never been a judge mental parent, and have my own idiosyncrasies that some Christians or conservatives would think not in line with the norm. I have blue hair, and I’ve had colored hair for 15 years. I was doing it long before the liberals were. My Fred is a hair technician, so we’ve been able to have fun with it and do it in a matter that it is tasteful, and I get so many compliments on my hair.
The interesting thing though, is that sometimes they think I’m one of them, it really does open the door for me to have conversations with people who normally would not even talk to you. During the pandemic I was treated differently by left leaning liberal store clerks, regarding masks. They do ask other people to put their masks on, but because I had blue hair, they wouldn’t ask me. It was just a really weird experiment I was doing walking around out in the world with my blue hair. During Covid! Of course cause my best friend is a hair technician, my hair always looks great during Covid. I think people were a little pissed off at that point in time because so many people couldn’t get their haircut or colored.
Anyway thanks for your advice. I would never turn my back on my own child, but she’s turned her back on me, and there’s nothing I can do about that. That’s the part that sucks the most.
Oh I’m so sorry. I really hope I didn’t sound so harsh. She is lucky to have you as a mother!
I don’t think you sounded harsh at all. I’ve tried to be open minded to everyone’s comments, and suggestions. It’s in this way that the Lord could be speaking to me, something I may have not even thought of. I appreciate every bit of his comments and prayers.
Dear ThisIsHowItStarts — No need to respond, but just wondering how your reunion was with your daughter? I hope all is well on your end! 🙏🙏🙏
