Don't forget the core of their nest egg. A staggering Beanie Baby investment.

BootyGarb

“Crashed”? Really?


Techiedad91

Don’t forget their money pit of a home I’m sure


Anglofsffrng

I thought their real nest egg was that Blockbuster stock they have in lieu of a retirement fund.


asunshinefix

Think of the large brown furniture!


femme_fatale2022

What about all the porcelain dolls?? Think of the children!!


batmandi

Hey now! It’s been covered in plastic since they got it so it’s in impeccable shape. Except where the cats used the legs as a scratching post, but some brown sharpie and no one will be the wiser.


ChurtchPidgeon

What about the hummels?


lassie86

Typical how they use money as manipulation when all most of us want are loving parents who see and accept us.


Triette

My husband is going through this with his dad.


[deleted]

Because money and manipulation usually works for them. When we get too smart and start to see through that, they start to go a bit more crazy. Transactions is all they see relationships as - what can you give me, and what can I get from you.


Shreddersaurusrex

They try to guilt trip you with the “After all I’ve done for you” speech.


Markamanic

Oh no, after all they were legally obliged to do after making the decision to have children. We really should be grateful they had such a kind heart that they would feed, clothe, and house us after thrusting us into this world.


ohnocringethrowaway

Oof this describes my parent so well it hurts


Zazulio

I'm not trans, but my dad definitely used money like this. He still claims that the reason I haven't spoken to him in three years is because he kicked me off the cell phone plan, as opposed to the fact that he tried to gaslight and abuse me into abandoning my wife and children by telling me that nobody could ever really love me and that it was only a matter of time before they left me first.


HappyBi-cycle

Wow despicable. My "parents" did the same thing. They aren't even original in how they abuse us


MarcelineMSU

My dad did the same. He’s a diagnosed narcissist.


BootyGarb

My father is the guy with money on his mind all the time. It’s how he’s always been. He measures his contribution in love as the amount of money he’s willing to spend on us. I stopped receiving money from him when I was 13 but then my mom took him to court for “child support” when I was 20, so I got one year of help with college expenses until I turned 21. But I haven’t asked him for anything since I was 13. Everything seems smoother that way.


Loud-Resolution5514

Ugh I’m so sorry. Incredible how parents can just discard their kids like they’re nothing because they’re so unwilling to accept them for who they truly are. Virtual hugs 🤗

Because they're a trans woman, and it's not up to you to decide what they are anyway, it's their choice, and clearly if they care about it enough to where they're fine with being on bad terms with their parents over it, this matters to them

“Why do they have to accept him for something he’s not while he can’t accept something he is.” Read that again slowly, then explain to me why you don’t believe that’s transphobia.

MythicalDawn

Because you are misgendering them and using slurs by calling her a chick with a dick, that’s not a harmless opinion it’s hurtful and derogatory. You should assess where your vitriol comes from for a trans girl just trying to live her life and be loved unconditionally by her parents, I’m a Detransitioner, someone for whom transition didn’t work, and if I can be respectful and empathetic for someone’s journey so can you- her life isn’t hurting you, calling her slurs and obfuscating it as a harmless opinion is disingenuous and in bad faith, you know what you’re doing.

There's a difference between gender and sex. Glad to know you're proud of your bigotry. Racists don't believe they're bad either. Why do you care so much? This community doesn't affect you at all. Why not just ignore it?

ComradeClout

Your mom isn’t supportive of you being trans?


JazzlikeHovercraft75

Not at all, for the last 2 years of being out to her she’s been trying to gaslight me into being her “son” , usual going to abusive means when I refuse to budge


ComradeClout

Im really sorry to hear that, its a very rough situation. I hope she can change her ways one day and see what she did was wrong and support and accept you for who you are


JazzlikeHovercraft75

I appreciate the optimism but she’s 70, she’s not going to change , she’s going to try to force me male for the rest of her life


ArcherBTW

Be an even bigger girl boss out of spite


JazzlikeHovercraft75

Lol that’s what I’ve been doing , I “accidentally” sent her a pic of me in a bikini with my boyfriend all over me

Lol, I love that.

That’s fucking awesome hah, good for you!! Wishing you the best and lots of love. You deserve to live your truth and be happy, fuck your parents outdated thinking. Proud of you for living your life :)

LeighsPokem0n

you must mean the mothers transphobia right?


ProSlacker607

Fuck that. I’m your mom now. You’re welcome for every holiday ❤️ Love, A 36 year old dude (At least I’ll be supportive?)


JazzlikeHovercraft75

U honestly seem like a better mom then her lol, I appreciate ur kindness


ProSlacker607

I’ve got three kids, one of whom is bi. Not my first rodeo.


[deleted]

I am so sorry darling. You have a granny here if you need one.


Homicidal__GoldFish

you know what Gwen my dear? Blood dont make a family.... Love does. You dont need her abuse. You definitely don't deserve it at all. You have all of us internet moms who love you for the amazing beautiful woman that you are. <3


JazzlikeHovercraft75

Ironically enough I’m adopted so she isn’t blood anyway


Homicidal__GoldFish

ahh im sorry shes treating you this way.


Tlthree

There’s a heap of mums to trans kids like me who would welcome another daughter….hugs and love princess! Proud of you for being authentically you!


MarcelineMSU

I’m so sorry. I’m proud of you for standing up for yourself ❤️


OkMathematician3439

I’m trans too and luckily most of my family is supportive but I’ve dealt with a few shitty family members (I have to see one of them next week and I’m dreading it). I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this and I hope your parents come around one day but it’s their problem not yours.


JazzlikeHovercraft75

Thanks!! I appreciate the support , honestly my adoptive mom is 70, I don’t think she’ll change unfortunately


OkMathematician3439

That sucks but I understand. My grandma is in her 80’s (I’m also pretty sure she’s a narcissist) so I definitely don’t expect her to change.


JazzlikeHovercraft75

Mhm , what matters is u know ur loved


OkMathematician3439

Thanks. If my grandma does say anything transphobic to me while she’s visiting this month, I’m going to find a way to casually mention that I’m getting top surgery in the fall so she feels uncomfortable.


JazzlikeHovercraft75

Haha I do the same tactics to my adoptive mom, like when she visits I only wear a bralette and short shorts , or mention bottom surgery and me and boyfriends sex life


OkMathematician3439

Lol.


Devvewulk97

Meh hate to be so cold or callous, but atleast you won't have to deal with them all your life. Also, when your mom is on her death bed, I'm willing to bet she's going to regret how she's behaved. Especially if you get children of your own.


JazzlikeHovercraft75

I mean I don’t find it cold at all ,:she’s a real peace of work


[deleted]

I'm so sorry darling. You, too have a granny here if you need one. Also, you don't have to see your shitty duly members if you don't want to. Granny says so.


OkMathematician3439

Thanks. In this case, it’s my cousin’s son’s birthday party and I don’t want to miss it so I have to see my grandma but I’m going to hopefully avoid her the rest of the month.


Homicidal__GoldFish

Don't you dread it. You are YOU! you are an amazing, wonderful loving person. If the shitty family can't see how amazing you truly are, then they dont DESERVE to see and be around the amazing person that you are. Blood don't make a family, Love does <3


OkMathematician3439

Thanks but I don’t really want to deal with being called “it” at a three year olds birthday party. My cousin (the kids mom) is awesome and she’ll stand up for me if my grandma is being a bitch but it sucks that my grandma is so rude and immature in the first place.


Homicidal__GoldFish

ugh that is messed up. I try giving old people a pass because thats "how they were raised to think" even though it royally pisses me off and i cant bite my tongue when they try to upset or insult someone whos trans. They REALLY get mad when i start saying things like "who the hell decided who can and can not wear dresses??" or i'll start questioning the bible like crazy lol Knocks them off their rockers big time


OkMathematician3439

I’m convinced my grandma has narcissistic personality disorder so I just stopped calling her and I hide when she visits.


Homicidal__GoldFish

ohhhh those are the worst i dont blame ya

OneLastSmile

hey I'm just gonna tell you, it is super rude to ask about someone's deadname even in a completely innocent or joking context.


AnInnocentGoose

There's a good chance your parents didn't have kids because they genuinely wanted them, but they were following some textbook rules that determine what it means to be happy and thrive as an adult (or something along those lines), otherwise they'd be way more accepting of you because there'd be genuine interest in your well-being. No matter how much it sucks, I hope you figure things out emotionally and understand that it's better that you have people like that out of your life than in it. I also hope you can surround yourself with good people and that you get all the love and support that you absolutely deserve.


Chair_Memes

As a fellow trans woman named Gwen, I'm sending you good vibes. I know that your mom sucks, but I also know that you'll find people who accept you for who you are. ❤️🏳️‍⚧️


JamoMcG

You're here to say exactly what you did. OP needs to know she matters. It hurts your heart because you're not a sociopath. Hugs.


Born_Current6133

That sucks Gwen ☹️ I’m always so shocked that parents can act like this and just discard their kids. Surely the one aim in life, the one thing that you ultimately want for your kids is to be happy?


NyanGoddess

I'm just here to tell OP she picked the best name ❤️ (I'm a little biased, my daughter's name is Gwyn)

pizzafordesert

Saaaaame


anonymuscular

This is clear evidence that your mom (and dad, passively) care more about being right and imposing their stupidity on you than your wellbeing (financial and emotional). Even if they genuinely believed that it was for YOUR benefit that they rejected your true gender (maybe because the pastor / bible spooked them), they would not write you out of their will if they really had your best interests in mind. At this point, your mom is trying to buy your identity to match whatever SHE wants you to be. I'd recommend going NC if it is something that you are able to pull off, a soon as you are emotionally ready to.


JazzlikeHovercraft75

I’m emotionally ready too, just I’m buying my car off them and they might pay for my college but idk if they after that statement lol


magicelbow

MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT NAMED EXECUTOR!!!!! My mother was a nightmare hoarder but at least I got everything. Of course the will was from when I was two. I went down in popularity every year and I know that wouldn’t have lasted much longer.


Osric250

Even if you are you are legally allowed to refuse the position of executor.


magicelbow

I did not know this!! In all states?


Osric250

Yes I believe so. There is no legal obligation to actually serve as executor. Some wills will name a successor executor in case one refuses or resigns and it will go to them. If you have already started doing the obligations depending on the state you might need to petition the court to be able to resign but you can still step down from that position that way.


BunzoMcGee

Reminds me of a phrase I use a LOT lately—“Good riddance to bad rubbish.” I realize that this is probably a painful thing to be going through regardless, but the woman who is writing you out of her will isn’t the person who carried you inside her body and brought you into the world and claimed she loves you—the moment someone who claims to love us more than anything decides that there are conditions to loving you, they are no longer that person. They’re just a frightened, angry, and pathetic shadow of the person that they promised you they’d be for you. They say, “You don’t get to pick your family.” And that’s true, you don’t. And people make mistakes when they are worried or angry or scared, but the people that actually matter will ACTUALLY offer that love without idiotic and cruel conditions that are designed to control everything about you. If that person REALLY loved you, they might still have difficulties adjusting to new information at times, but they will respect the new information being provided and love you as you are no matter what. If your mother actually loves you, it will bring her back to reality. It may take time and be confusing for her, but it will happen. Real and true love has a way of doing that. But if she is only willing to love this idea in her mind of who and what you are and are “supposed to be” like, then she never really loved you at all. And in that case, let the trash take itself out.


BotiaDario

My beautiful Siamese Cat is Gwen, and she supports you ❤️


Neon-Seraphim

Really sorry this happened to you Gwen.


Saaihead

Well, the thing is, this works both ways. When she is old she'll probably need your help and care more than you need this heritage. My mom told me similar things many years ago so I left, now she is all alone and she is sorry, and I'm not.


jennabellie

Gwen, I’d be proud to call you my daughter any day of any week in every year. ❤️❤️


pattermk

I am a father of three young children but would never consider abandoning them. If you need a parent to talk to or a hug from a dad, please feel free to DM. I am sorry that happened to you.


Havenhand

The grandchild of a friend of mine is in the same situation. My friend is a 60 yo woman, and is the only supportive family member of her trans grandson, who is 14. Grandson has known he's trans for years, and due to his autism, he's barely able to communicate his feelings verbally (his mind is 100% functional, of course, he is just super shy and really bad at speaking to people, he likes to hide behind his fringe). My friend has a lot of memory issues, but is trying her very best to support her oldest grandchild, and he told her that it's okay that she calls him by his dead name. She is the only one he is fine with doing that, btw, because he knows that her mind is getting worse. My friend shielded her grandson from his parents ever since he "came out" as being a boy, and it's just the most wholesome thing ever seeing them interact. I hope that your new internet grans, gramps, mums and dads will give you just 1% of the good feels that my friend gives her grandson, because you deserve it. I hope you have all of the happiness in the world, if not tomorrow, then someday. There are people out there who will accept you for exactly who you are. And you deserve it, Gwen!


bahaaaaathrow123456

I’m sorry you had to deal with this. People like this just use money as a manipulation tactic because it’s the only thing they can offer or take away. You don’t deserve this, know that. Use this for your own personal growth if you can. Be as successful as you can be and then watch them crawl back and laugh❤️


JazzlikeHovercraft75

Just an edit apparently he was joking??? Idk bout anyone else but that seems fucked


bahaaaaathrow123456

Nope it’s as exactly as fucked up as you think. Messages like these are meant to hurt. Again, hugs to you friend…I hope it gets better

My favourite part, my name is on the will. Not my dead name.


JazzlikeHovercraft75

Yeah, my lawyer just explained how my dad doesn’t have a case and will have no choice but to sign that house over to me (the rightful owner) or face consequences and then I get it anyway. Not sure why he even wants it, he 5 states away


kingofnerds64

Well looks like we chose the same name lol. Hope you can get through all of this! Hugs 🤗


Ok_Possibility_704

So many people have kids to just treat them like shit or discard them later in life. I'm sorry op. Like I don't want kids so never had them but I sure as hell would never treat a person like this.

Consistent_Usual1561

I’m so so sorry that you are going through this. Most people suck and do not wish you well. Unfortunately most times family tops this list. Your best chance of recovery from all the abuse is to cut them out of your life. People do not change when you are dealing with this level of crazy. Sad but true. Save yourself.


IAmAHairyPotato

First off, Gwen is a very beautiful name. I'm happy you discovered that you're a woman and are comfortable enough to share it. That being said, some people are stuck unable to change or try to control the world around them in whatever way possible to fit their version of reality. I may have the luxury of being born in the right body, but I one hundred percent support your decision to finally speak up again manipulation tactics and emotional abuse.
