My mum reluctantly supported my transition. She knew I was mentally unwell when I began pursuing it. She knew I was probably making a mistake. Yet, she said nothing. Why? Fear. The fear of a mother, that her vulnerable daughter would cut her off if she objected. 1/8

Thank you
As parents we r vilified no matter what position we take. Our grief isn't acknowledged due to it's ambiguous nature. Our job is 2 shield our children from harm & we r being called criminal 4 doing so. We r fighting a monsterous ideology that is w/out conscience.3 replies 24 retweets 312 likes -

I feel you <3 it wasn't until I sat down with my mum and she really opened up that I realized how painful the whole thing was for her. She did a good job hiding her pain from me (to protect me), but now that I know, I intent to talk about it for every parent like her out there.

If you knew the pain she was in then would you still have done it? Should I let my daughter know how much I am suffering?

That depends on what stage of transition your daughter's in. How old is she, and how long has she been identified as trans? How much has she told you regarding why she wants to be male?
