"The pain is crushing, I will say that you can survive this pain, one minute at a time, one hour at a time, one day at a time and the pain does lessen to a degree.”
Huh.
My son’s gay, I don’t consider myself a failure, i don’t obsess on him or his situation. I spent more time regretting my other son that joined the Navy and went Surface… Yeesh.
"…a wedding… devasting for me in the beginning knowing I will never walk my oldest daughter down the aisle and give her away, I will never grandparent her biological children.”
I have a grandkid. To me, that’s not the PURPOSE of having kids, it’s just a nice benefit. I don’t berate the other kids for not giving me grandkids. Jesus, you’re a selfish twat, your foster kids notwithstanding.
"most of them egged her on including their parents, no one will mention this horror, how or why would they?”
Good point. I don’t often mention doing the right thing. I don’t go home and tell my wife how many times i held the door for someone, or waited patiently until the forklift got out of the passageway. I have never ‘egged’ a transgendered person on, I just accepted it when they told me they were.
Do you imagine that we go home and tell our kids, “Hey! Talked three people into looking into a new identity today! That’s a win!”
"Maybe a muttered question once a year from a close friend or family member of "how is your oldest daughter?"”
If they still refer to him as your daughter, shouldn’t you consider that a win?
“It is crushing.”
If they still refer to him as your daughter, shouldn’t you consider that a win? Reinforcing your bigotry?
"Forgive everyone who has wronged you or your family, vengeance belongs to another and He will deal with them appropriately, our society is also coming around to see the Truth, those who did this will face consequences.”
I become more and more convinced that Christainity is nothing but a big, formal revenge fantasy.
Clearly by ‘forgive,’ they mean ‘just wait patiently for God to smite them.’
