[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here-On a positive note it appears my friend is doing relatively well, better than I thought she would at first, although it is quite a rough road she is on.  I agree with those who say she will likely never fully recover.

On the other hand, I just found out that the grandson had been struggling with his gender identity and was attempting to live as a female, something I had not known.  I fear that his extremely evangelical parents and church family made this very difficult for him and that is likely at least partly why he decided to end his life. I do not know the details. It's really hard for me to imagine how his family's Christian faith is helping them under these circumstances, although I hope it is.  I think my friend, his grandmother, is probably handling it better than his parents are.[/quote]

You are either a troll making this story up, or not really friends of the family. Friends of the family (grandmother is a “good” friend) would have known about the grandson being transgender.

This thread reads like a failed attack on Christianity for sending suicidal people to “hell,” and once op realizes that’s not how Christianity treats people who commit suicide anymore, they switch the story to the suicide was over the Christian parents and church bullying a teenager to suicide.
