A reader writes: "I am slowly coming to terms with my son declaring he is a female, but my husband will have no part in it, won't even discuss it with me, he is in denial.

"It breaks my heart that my husband totally ignores my son considering they had a close relationship until my son shared this information. Any advice would be appreciated."

I don't know how old your child is, and that would probably make a difference, but I'm going to assume that she (I am using the female pronoun for her, since she has declared that she is female, according to your letter) is either an older adolescent or an adult. If I'm wrong, some of the things I say might not apply.
