Thank you so much Stella, I can’t even begin to describe where I’d be if I hadn’t fallen upon your Podcast Wider Lens. You bring a level headed approach to a very distressing and dangerous space which allows me to work through this process with a sense of self confidence, calmness and love. It’s like having a good friend who understands completely what we’re going through, one who supports and champions us as parents. I wish there were thousands more of you to help our kids with a kind and safe approach to treatment rather than simply affirming their misguided beliefs.
Many, many thanks for all you do, Stella. Like so many others, I've benefitted so much from all your webinars and the Q&A sessions with Sasha here. Its a fantastic resource for those of us who are caught in this affirmation-only world, as we try to safely navigate our confused kids through to adulthood. Your work with Gender: A Wider Lens, Genspect and all that you do to speak for this side of the gender experience is a beacon of hope and sanity. I'm beginning to have hope that the communities that you (and your colleagues and collaborators) are connecting will soon be too big for the media, medical profession and law-makers to ignore. Go raibh maith agat.
Thank you Stella. You and your work have been a life line for me. I’m with MamaBear; anything you can provide that addresses young adults would be welcome.
Also, do you think you and Sasha will have another parents’ retreat in the fall/next spring?
Passive Aggressive. Can you describe it and give ideas with how to cope with it.
Love. My kid said we didn’t know what love is and we never learned. He mentioned monetary support, but apparently we didn’t give him emotional support.
Control. He thinks we had control over him until he estranged from us. We didn’t once he was 18.
Abdicate decisions. TullipR mentioned this in a talk he gave. It fits my kid too.
Communication. Do you have any good books on what and how to communicate?
Kid is 22, so if there are differences in ages in how you would explain these, please address that too.
Thank you, Stella, for your dedication and support.
