Beautiful as always. So grateful - and inspired - by your reflections, especially of self. I look forward to continuing the journey of exploration, and truly appreciate your particular words and presence.
Wow - A very lovely moving article. I have experienced all the feels you so eloquently expressed. I am somewhat new here. I am eager for what is to come. I am so dismayed that there are so many of us moms who have had this transgender travesty destroy our families. Mine is in shambles - my three sons all blame me for this situation because I refuse to play into the fantasy of my baby boy (28 y o) being a girl. I am and have always been a follower of Christ. I have never been mean or cruel to my son. But because I refuse to accept him as my “daughter” I’m the bad mom. But we must soldier on in constant prayer that this upside down wacko world will someday right itself. My hope is in Christ. Blessings.
Thank you for the words of wisdom and encouragement-we are on this journey of learning and growth together. It feels good to know that we are not alone or crazy and we can become better through this pain. God bless us all on this difficult journey-especially you as you're trying to help so many through your own challenges. Sending strength and kindness!
I would add that I’m not advocating “fighting” our children; they are suffering with a mental illness, but there is nothing kind about being dishonest with them.
Speak the truth and FIGHT the evil that is profiting off of our children for money, votes, or virtue signaling.
What is life telling me now? FIGHT! For 3 years, after 5 years in.
What do I need to let go of?
1. People and institutions that tell me I’m a bigot bc I won’t accept my child as their “true selves”.
2. Are these opportunities for growth and resisting fear presenting themselves to me? NO-it’s just pure madness!
3. Am I in a dance of discernment? NO-it’s just pure madness!
4. Do I need to take some leap of faith and seize an opportunity? NO-it’s just pure madness!
5. Does this deeply injured world need healthy moms, grounded moms who trust intuition to lead their families with authenticity and wisdom? YES, and they need you to FIGHT!
6. By design, mothering requires sacrifice and uncomfortable expansion to bring children into the world-I do not want to develop my own capacity for more pain, grief or loss-I will FIGHT to save our children!
7. I only intend to recover my intuition by FIGHTING this madness!
8. This circumstance has not transformed me to feel compelled to contribute and expand any sort of “vision”. It has compelled me to FIGHT for our children!
9. Curious minds and open hearts are wonderful Stoic Mom…God Bless you.
This beast will not die easily.
The truth is like a lion; you don’t have to defend it, just turn it loose!
FIGHT & Speak the truth to anyone who will listen!
