Thanks, my brother has been the model father to these girls, his wife has not been a very good, nurturing or fair mother.
She has been a negative influence on her daughters. So sad.
Prayers up for Natalia and your entire family.
Some possibilities:
This is a phase. Don’t we all remember being told we were “just going through a phase” when we acted stupid as kids?
Siblings often try to distinguish themselves from each other. Sometimes with twins they feel that need even more in order to have a separate identity. One is the brainy one, the other the pretty one. One is the athlete, the other the musician. This might be an extreme form of that. If Natalia has any feeling of her sister being the “pretty one”, perhaps she is way over-reacting to that. (It doesn’t matter that they are identical and that everyone tells her she’s pretty. It only matters what she feels - like an anorexic who thinks she is fat.)
Anyway, prayers and more prayers. God bless.
“Tell her she’s a girl, refuse to use the new name. Tell your brother he needs a backbone. Tell him how ashamed his dad would be to see this day”
If I do that, I will never see my nieces again. I’m better off trying to talk to my niece, but she barely speaks to anyone. I’m suspecting now it will be worse.
My brother knows our dad would be completely heart broken, this child, Natalia, is named to honor her grandfather- Nathaniel.
I see three things you should do. 1. Pray every day for your brother’s family and especially that child. 2. Tell the child directly that if she ever decides to walk a different path you will do everything you can to help her. 3. Stand up to your siblings on your motger’s behalf and tell them this situation is very distressing to her. Then be with her the entire time to help her in whatever way you can.
God be with you all.
Avoid pronouns altogether. Use the proper name, Nace, whenever you speak of this child. People can have nicknames. Just consider this as such and avoid contributing to the corruption of this minor child.
If I were you I wouldn’t be home when they came.
Huh? Why did you say that?
All YOU and we can do at this time is pray.
Wow, that is a great article. Although my brother is not open to a discussion about his beautiful lil princess becoming a man, he may actually read this.
It is very much on point. Thank you very much.
In the presence of both sisters, would it be helpful to “convince” the other one to become transgendered too? Some truths—otherwise unrevealed—could come out.
My heart breaks for you and your family.
There is only one thing you can do.
Go to God.
Talk with Him just like you have done here. (Bet you are doing this already and right now :-))
Ask Him for His help.
Ask Him what He wants you to do.
Believe that His Will be done.
Search His Word. That is usually how He tells us His will, and what to do.
We can give you opinions. He can give you answers.
I have already started praying for y’all. God be with y’all.
God be with us all. This world is becoming unreal and unbearable, for sure.
Natalia will always be a girl. God’s plan — not hers or her parents’ plan.
God is supreme — they need to turn to him.
Not necessarily.Just the other day there was a story saying 1) that many who "change" eventually see reason and "change" back *and* that that fact is being suppressed by the PC Army.
There is hope.
The most polite suggestion I can make is to slip your mom a Benadryl or second glass of wine and hope she sleeps through the whole ordeal.
Cry out. Psalm 34:6
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
Honestly I would not participate in their delusions. I would tell them to go somewhere else and practice their child abuse somewhere else.
Yes, Just pray and fast and let God give you the words to speak. Do not fear because hell and heaven rest in the balance. Just empty yourself of any pride or anger against your family and let the Holy Spirit speak for you! Prayers for you and Natalie
Yes, I must be careful if I am going to doing any good, or I will be shut out.
And that is exactly what is happening. They look identical and are very cute girls. One is socially awkward.
In fact, Natalia has no girlfriends. Olivia has several and they go to the mall.
Natalia hangs out with her dad. She is friendless, except for her sister.
It may be that she sees how popular her sister is and recognizes that she is not. Because her dad loves her and that is her comfort zone (retreat), Natalia has rationalized that she should fit in better with guys and absurdly thinks she will find acceptance as a man. She has never been a tomboy.
She is in for a very rude awakening. Normal guys will want nothing to do with her no matter how she tries to dress as them to fit in the group. She is a petite thin girl with a pretty face and a full head of hair. This would be very awkward for them to have her as a pal or on the team or in the locker room, God forbid.
She will likely attract the worst kinky homosexual dominate perverts that will prey upon her. I don’t see this as anything but a train wreck.
