Just struggling with this tonight

[Ilikedampcake]

It’s my DS’s birthday today, he’s 19 so not a special one, but he was born a she 19 years ago and I’m struggling to get the image of that baby girl out of my head.

I’m not going to deny it’s been hard since he came out 2 yrs ago, although I’ve only told very close friends, but lately I’ve found it difficult to like let alone love him, his card sits unwritten in the cupboard.

I don’t know if it’s been our behaviour between each other recently, or since he got a girlfriend, he’s got really lazy, he’s messy, rude although he does work. I really feel like I don’t know him anymore.

I hear you. I came on here to look for support because I’m sat here crying for the little girl that I’ve lost. The grief is raw, and terrible. My son came out also around 2 years ago, and I have done my very best to support him, but I’m only just realising now how much I resent him for taking my daughter away. I don’t know what to suggest to you that will help, but I’m hoping someone will come along and give some advice on how to deal with this. 💐
