Just when I thought there wasn't anyone, any other parents out there that feel my confusion and sadness... I found this board. Thank you for being here.
My adult (over 18) daughter was first a lesbian for years. Totally fine with that. Then her partner was trans. Now, my once girly girl is claiming trans.
I'm trying my best not to "offset" anything. Everything revolves around her new gender ID. She is insisting I call her by her new name. Insisting I use proper pronouns. She threatens suicide constantly. I feel so alone with nobody to talk to. I escape by working overtime and actually enrolled in college to further my career. It's actually a really long story but this is the basics.
I also feel she lives in a fantasy world with the internet. I feel the internet is a big influence on her behavior. She was not part of the technology world until the end of high school... when smart phones came out and we got a computer.
Idk how to speak anymore let alone breathe. ☹
