Hey now.

If A2M wants to sit back and let something that is abusive to a family member happen, it is his family, not ours.

God's will or whatever.

As far as I know the camp is over. I was told which one it was just a couple of days ago. I only asked because @SlyPokerDog had asked me. Initially, I wasn't going to even ask them, but decided it wasn't a big deal. Or so I thought.
 
I don't make their decisions for them. You're talking about a divorced couple attempting to make sense of it all. Who knows how they chose this camp.

But again, you've previously described Alex's as a good kid with some gender questions. You've even mentioned how Alex helped their stepfather in construction or home remodeling. This just seems like an escalation, to remove Alex from school and send them out of state to a camp like that is concerning. This camp seems to be for behavior problems. If this camp is being used to "solve" Alex's gender questions that's concerning.
 
Definitely, a mixed bag of reviews.

As mentioned, I'm just the messenger here. I mentioned the name of the camp as a courtesy to Sly, as he had asked. If you want to scrutinize the camp - and me - go right ahead. Again, though, I'm just the messenger. Talk amongst yourselves. ;)

Well isn't it fucking wonderful for you that you get to wash your hands and say you have no moral connection to this.

Do you really have to act this way towards me? Brother.

Do you ever wonder why you get the reactions you do? Hint - it isn't just because you are a self proclaimed conservative.

Look, I'm more transparent than most in here. I shared some about my extended family, but don't need anyone criticizing me for such. I'm sure my Niece and her ex are doing the best they can in the situation. I'm not going to bug them about it.
 
A majority of trans people have autism.
That is a fucking conversion camp.
I hope they survive and thrive despite this act of abuse.

Imagine living in world (you probably don't have to imagine it obviously) where you just feel something isn't right, or doesn't feel right...and you go through your entire life hearing people tell you to just " be a man" about it, or "get over it" or "in my day, I didn't get a chance to have timeouts/adjusted education plans, etc". But you can't really explain what it is that doesn't feel right.

Then you throw on top of that, people who have struggled feeling typical, struggle with communicating with people, struggle with understanding peoples body language/context clues/etc, and NOW they all the sudden are having questions about their sexual identity/gender identity...and they're basically STILL being told "YOU need to change to match MY world view. Here's a neat camp!"

I think most of us, those of us with sympathy and empathy, know that it would suck. I honestly would not be surprised mental health/depression issues that arise from this and also the amount of suicide/suicidal thoughts they might have.

But Camp Jesus is the answer!

So the answer is no. Some self reflection would be good for you. Think about it. You didn't used to be like this.

The question to you is, what is it that I've said here to warrant the reactions? Please try to be specific.
 
Free advice.....change the title of this thread from "I'm dealing with ......to "my relative is dealing with" for a start. It's not about you in fact..

This thread has not been entirely about Alex. That resulted much later.

read your title....then read your last post about the subject....you went from I'm dealing with to it's not my problem .....you figure it out from there...any more advice will cost you

FTFY. It's quite possible that what they think is best is not best for Alex and/or their mental health.

Got it. 2200+ posts later. LOL
 
Seriously, though, what more did you expect? You want these situations solved through me?
You seemed earlier to have an interest in getting involved, take her out to do some "guy things" thinking that might make them reconsider their sexuality. But when it's pointed out they likely sent her to a conversion camp, you're just a messenger. I'd be livid if a family member sent their child to a place like that, personally.

Her ex husband took over. She's in Seattle, they're in Utah.
