I too have a son who has gone trans and 2 daughters who hopped on board the acceptance train. He (now 25) eventually went “no-contact” from us for over a year and a half. He finally showed up on our doorstep a few months ago. We had a good talk putting everything on the table of where we stand and where he stands. I offered him my Rosary and he gasped and graciously accepted it. Not much has changed to our knowledge, but at least we can speak to each other even if it is at a distance. And we know the extra fear of losing our daughters in the process of walking this fine line. There is much more I can say, but realize that this is a public forum. My prayers now are focussed more on my children’s spiritual path (all raised catholic) to a relationship with Jesus than their change of opinion.
