So great. Iā€™ve come to similar conclusions and I believe that has helped end estrangement between FTM daughter and myself. Mindfulness is the way to go and what I preach in my practice. Thank you for this piece.

I am determined that I will not be THE reason she pursues cross-sex hormones and non-medically necessary surgeries. Interesting. Can you please explain that more for me?

Hello Iā€™m the mum of a 14 year old daughter. Iā€™ve started reading your essayā€™s they make so much sense. I have been through the mill past two years been fighting this situation and done a great job of building that energetic wall you spoke of. Allowed myself to drown and spent what seems a lifetime searching for ways to get her back. I also came to the conclusion the best I can do is connect again and that I canā€™t actually control any of this. Trying hard to get myself together again. Really felt a connection with your writing and it made me feel hopeful. Thank you
