[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the last 3 months have found out my DC :
Is bisexual
Has been cutting-so much so that she almost needed stitches and has scars/healing areas up and down all legs and arms.  One cutting session for her is like 15 or more cuts
Last night told me she is agender and does not identify as one sex or another
Wants to be called by a gender neutral name and chop off her long hair.

We have her in therapy now but I feel like  she is trying to kill everything she was.  I am mourning the "death" of  who I thought she was. I cannot even come to terms with this agender thing and honestly it is freaking me out.

She has adhd and is a young teen.  I am terrified of what is to come.  I fear she will get into drugs or worse.  She comes from a stable family and I don't know what the $&@! happened and I cannot talk to anyone about it.

So I am sending love out to all of the other parents here.  I feel your pain.[/quote]

This sounds so hard. Sending good thoughts your way.[/quote]
