There are so many more writers I’d like to acknowledge. I’ll try to get through everyone (in batches at this rate!). They are, in the main, the reason I stick to images.
My own contribution to substacking, with words and pictures, is simply to pay my dues and to say that YES, you’re all totally right. And totally on the right side of history too. The abuse our daughter has suffered and the psychic violence and split resulting from gender ideology within our family, is the living proof of all the harm and damage that you expose.
Our estranged daughter is radicalised, probably sunk too far to ever find the means to come back, and “acts out” this mammoth projection of her distress and poor mental health on herself and on us - her parents - enabled by a bunch of dangerous gender loons in her “queer family”. It’s cemented into place by indoctrination and fear, and sealed with the widespread social, political and cultural indifference to the lives and futures of this generation and their mental health.
The “living proof” I refer to is the evidence (throughout her own transition and identity construction) of everything she is deluded enough to deny, the sex binary and the truth about ourselves. We, as parents, can no longer exist in her brave new world because we are part of her old self, her dead self. It has been decreed.
We would have supported her more, we did support her, endlessly, willingly, and unconditionally. We loved her, she loved us. But behind our backs, and stealthily other people were grooming her and destabilizing her own sense of self. Other people had manipulated our daughter into believing that simply enquiring gently whether she was going into this thing a little too fast, perhaps a little too incautiously, was “literal violence” - and a crime that can NEVER be forgiven. It must be punished for eternity.
We never stood a chance. But I’ve been educated thanks very much
Astounding. I'm thinking today about whether to get the same gifts in my sons' honor from Heifer.org before holiday time. Have done that and birthday gifts, &etc for these two years of their complete snub of me, after I made it clear I can no longer refer to their father as the second female parent. This year marks 30 since I discovered the diaries, and 7 since the watershed year of 2015, when my sons' tech workplaces took on "pronouns." Defaming me, their mother, became popular for virtue signaling. Since I discuss their father's father honestly--his physical abuse, his repellent personality, how my then boyfriend hated him at the time we met, I do not expect to reconnect any time soon. My sons, like many in their 30s, are brainwashed, indoctrinated and captured, unable to see past themselves and the selfish man who fathered them to the teen girls who are so vulnerable now.
