Subject: Help with misled teen with gender issues |
Bible Note: Charis, thanks for feedback, I love my church, Woodmen Valley Chapel in Co Springs, Co. We are inbetween pastors, hope to have one in the next few months. I have spoken to several in the body; who are in my opinion Christian Sages. This isn't a typical problem. Transgender issues are not an issue that most people could speak to off the top of their head. It is NOT like homosexual issues. Although it may seem to be on the surface, to anyone who has not researched this and lived the situ I am in with my son. I do believe that it stems from a common problem; self esteem, self concept self identity adolescent issues. I have another in our body who I intend to talk to. I have spoken to him once, in the past, looking for help of an older teen or young adult mentor for my son. Within our our body; we are large 3000 plus, hoping we had a mentoring program etc. Wwe didn't and although HE was receptive,he is about 30 something and degreed in a Christian college, ordained, he is our Youth, College, Career Prg Mgr Director. He did say, that sadly our young,college age kids were more self directed, introspective about their careers, and not invested at this time in mentoring, etc. It broke my heart,what could I say? THAT would have made a CHANGE; I can't change people, thats the Holy Spirits venue. . . The indiv I referenced,is receptive and I will contact him again, at your suggestion and perhaps he will be instructive. He does not know specifics of my sons problems. My church, through the board, have agreed to offer some financial support regarding a residential tx center for my son; it is sadly not enough, short a mere thousand plus per month. This was after a Christian physician contacted them on our behalf, because he also knew people in our church (board), explaining the situ. They did not say to him, let her come and discuss this with us, after they were told what was going on. . . . so, perhaps, they didn't feel qualified to assist any other way. thats what I surmised, anyway. Thank you again, and I am interested in any help, suggestions you have. It was an appropriate query and I certainly appreciate the thought and time you have taken to respond, do not cease to care; that and love are the greatest gifts, esp that we have to offer each other.
