The below reflections are based on my expertise as a parenting coach, as well as my experience as a parent and as someone navigating parenting and gender. I am not a medical provider or mental health professional.
My child is trans, nonbinary, or gender-creative and I want to support them. Is it okay that I feel like I’ve lost my son/daughter?
Yes, of course. When we feel like we’ve lost something, we grieve. It is a natural part of being alive. You should honor your feelings of loss and sadness.
