I'm only 2 years out on my loss but thanks to posts like this and resources like Genspect and PITT and SEGM and GDSN, I have been able to get myself moved to the right end of the Denton Ambiguous Loss curve and but for the occasional setback, I'm staying here and planning to live out the rest of my life. Who knows, maybe I'll get to watch this whole dystopian nightmare curl up and die. I hope so. And I hope all the Rachel Levine's and Martine Rothblatts and Pritzkers go with it.
After just over two years myself, I don’t have much hope that my son will make it out — he’s now a 16yo lesbian in love with an 18yo bisexual girl — but I’ve dedicated most of my life to stopping this in hope of saving the young ones who would fall next. I live on the edge of relentless anxiety, but the bond with others going through this, the thought of living to see this nightmare end, and the slim possibility that there will be retribution, helps me keep going.
Like you, I'm determined now to be strong enough to see the (likely) tortuously slow ending of this psychotic social experiment and cult. After 4 years of this unwanted estrangement, trying to put something "out there" to add to the pushback is all I can do in lieu of any actual contact with our daughter, and to urge others (for whom it might cost less) to speak out. If it happened to us, it could happen to anybody. I'm aware that things always come to a head at Christmas time, this was the hardest one for us I think. But I'm determined to go into 2023 with a more positive attitude. Happy New Year to you Juliet, may it bring better news, or a more positive outlook for us and all parents of estranged and trans-groomed sons and daughters
I hope the lawsuits involving 1000 families in the UK, along with Ritchie Herron, an articulate detransitioned man, as well as lawsuits in the States by Camile Kieffer and Chloe Cole, will cause major flaking around the edges. I imagine that cross-sex ideating men like my ex-husband are squirming, as they were told they were "so rare." The social contagion of it will surface.
Meanwhile, a spicebush butterfly in the garden last summer, as a symbol of hope:

Those are great goals to have, keep going and stay strong, we'll get there!
