I just got home from therapy , so I'm just plain wiped out. I am trying to keep everyone happy and it's not working anymore. I'm dying inside and no one understands. actually that is not true, a wise person shared my grief for a while today and made it ok. Of course, it is so hard to let myself cry because I'm afraid I'll shatter into a million little pieces.
I never anticipated my child being transgender, I thought we were all ok. I never saw the pain they were feeling.... how could i have been so blind? It feels so selfish to grieve when I should be celebrating her new life, but the truth is I will miss my strong handsome, loving son... our family had dealt with so much already, teen pregnancy, bullying, running away because of the bullying, 2 divorces among my 3 kids, and so much other crap. But why do we get to go through this too?! I love my children so much, I want to make everything all better and have everyone be loving and accepting , but I can't seem to do it! I'm just so wiped out and afraid that I don't have the strength to keep everyone happy!
Hugs from:

So sorry you are hurting. You have a lot to process right now. The truth is we can never make everyone happy all the time so try to be kind to yourself if you can. Big hugs your way!!

I am sorry you are going through such a stressful time, and please let go of any guilt you are feeling. No parent can make things all Disney for their kids and fix everything, no matter how much we want to or how hard we try. We can only be there for them when they need someone in their corner.

Grieve as you need to, there is no shame in that. Be proud for being strong when you needed to be strong for your children, especially when it is something that many parents would run away from.

You didn't run, you stayed, and that says something about you as a parent.

I am sory that you are suffering so much but its not your fault for your children dicorce some things in life we cannot control .Stop thinking at this negative things because you will reflect more negative energy in your house .Be more pozitive i know its very hard when you have so many problems but you must try
