Hi everyone ,
So I’m a mom of 4 girls and mom to 3 step kids two girls and a boy. I lost my eldest daughter not long ago and have been a little lost. I have a daughter who is 16 years old , who at 14 decided she wanted to cut her long hair short, over the last two years we have let her develop her individuality, male clothes dyed hair piercings , with no concerns in fact she is a really good kid. A while ago she said that she felt she did not identify as a girl she is unsure of her sexuality and we have told her that we are here to support her. A letter arrived addressed to someone I didn’t no and when asked she said she had changed her name and now identified as he/him. The thing is she has never talked to us regarding this, although we said that we would support her in previously chats and nothing more was said . Over the last week she started college and her behaviour has changed I don’t no who my child is , we were told she was dating a female to male on testosterone since the age of 14 not a problem at all , on Thursday morning at 4 am my daughter left the house with the mother of this child , who has purchased a binder for my daughter , and my child has pierced her own face, we asked the police for support to bring her home and was told she is 16 she does not have too , we asked for help everywhere and no help she was removed by the police to another friends house girl who identifies as jake she has known these people for 4 days 4 days . Last night she arrived at my home where my door was kicked off the hinges nearly, she was shouting pigs anti trans , I feel she is in a home very pro transgender and LGBTQ’s and feel there is no middle ground as we would be addressing all areas currently we feel she is only hearing one , they have been over heard saying you don’t have to go bk it’s your body say your parents did this say this she was arrested and returned to the home of her friend , positive for her as she is allowed to do what she likes my concern is that I am not sure if this is a sexuality issue body dysmorphic disorder or rapid gender dysphasia we are open as long as my child is happy but I’m seeing a lot of reports on de transitioning and long term effects no one is supporting us al she is 16 and I want her to be sure be fully informed and understand treatment if this is who she wants to be but she does not have to return I’ve lost one child I could not go through that again currently hanging by a thread ?
