Imagine having a child who's struggling with their identity, and one parent refuses to accept them for who they are. That's the heartbreaking situation one dad is facing. His wife is refusing to accept their transgender son, even after years of therapy and discussions. The father has had enough and finally told his wife to 'get over herself' and support their son, leading to a tense standoff between the couple. 💔😔
