I suppose it depends on the person. My family knew I was struggling with other issues when my dysphoria manifested. Maybe I’d have hated them for doubting me, but it’s also possible they could have helped open my eyes to the problems I was trying to run away from with transition
Family members telling me they “always felt” my decision to transition was a mistake. I ask “why didn’t you say anything back then?” They reply “we didn’t want to upset you.” Please, upset me. If you have concerns about someone you love – talk to them about it. It might help.

I'm so sorry your family didn't intervene. I did with my son until he stopped speaking to me. We're back on speaking terms as long as i keep shut. My son knows I love him and maybe one day he'll appreciate that i did speak up. Also, I'm so glad you're safe from any more damage.

And I'm sorry things didn't go well with your son, though it's good you're on speaking terms. I wish you both good luck for the future.

This is the sad truth, yes. I'm not mad at my family for not challenging me - I understand why they didn't. I'm mad at the mental health professionals who didn't challenge me.

my dear daughter is alienated from me and I barely responded, held back by concern she'd do just this...

I tried to talk to my son about it given his medical history His trans aqaibtances told him not to talk to me because I was a biased transphobe He blocked me on social media and hasn't talked to me for 18 months Very upsetting situation which won't change
-
That's just awful, I'm so sorry. I hope it does change one day so you can have your son back.

She would just have cut us off. When I did try finally, she shut the conversation down.

But I still agree we should try.
