A parent's job is to love their children no matter what. It's the kind of love that should be non-transactional, almost unconditional, and unwavering. At least, that's what we all believe this love should look like.
Unfortunately, things are a little more complicated, and so are humans. We're imperfect and unpredictable. Still, everyone deserves a loving parent, but some stories shock us with how far things can go. Just like this one, shared by a mother on r/JUSTNOMIL, who revealed that her transgender daughter went to spend the weekend at her dad's house, only to return with a lifetime's worth of trauma.
