Thriving Through Transition: Self-Care for Parents of Transgender Children

â‚¬Å“Mom, Dad - Iâ‚¬m transgenderâ‚¬Â In one second our lives can change forever and that is what happens to many parents when a child â‚¬Å“comes outâ‚¬Â and tells them they are transgender. Even if you had a suspicion that something was â‚¬Å“differentâ‚¬Â about your child, parents still experience a multitude of conflicting feelings about how this will affect their child, themselves, their family and others in their lives. Whether your child is 5 or 50, most parents are not prepared to know what to say, what do next or how to care for themselves in the process of what is about to unfold in their lives. This book was written to make it easier for parents. To give parents insight and awareness to understand what happens to them when their child â‚¬Å“comes outâ‚¬Â as transgender and to give parents direction and effective suggestions on how to deal with the many issues parents commonly face with a transgender child. Issues include dealing with grief, denial, depression, anger, shame and guilt. Knowing what to say to others and how to deal with resistance. How to deal with religious, cultural and social issues. Most importantly, how parents can reach a level of acceptance and why this is essential for the parent. It emphasizes the importance of love and compassion deserving not only to transgender children but especially to the parents who raise them. In addition to parents, this book can educate family members, teachers, educators, clergy, counselorâ‚¬s therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, other related healthcare professionals and anyone who loves a transgender person.
