My dad (now mom) is transgender and it’s absolutely ruining my life

Family is supposed to be the one constant we can rely on, but what happens when the foundation you’ve always known suddenly changes? For one teen, the shock of watching his dad transition into his “mom” has created a storm of emotions—resentment, confusion, embarrassment, and deep pain. While he insists he’s not against transgender people, the reality of having his own parent transition has turned his world upside down.

The struggle isn’t against identity—it’s against the ripple effect of choices that left him feeling powerless. Now, he’s left wondering: can he ever reconcile love for his parent with the resentment he feels, or will the distance only grow?
