Ever since he was two years old, my little brother liked doing girlish things.
At first my family and i thought it was a phase. But he is eight years old and has told me he wishes he was a girl. It scares me because i love him and want the best for him. OUr dad is old. Our mom suffers with depression and i am trying to help my parents raise him and my younger siblings. He loves praying when he is scared. he reads the bible alittle. he attends mass weekly and is a very sweet boy. He only really likes playing with girls. We have been trying to do more boy stuff with him like playing basketball, soccer, cards, and batmitton. My husband and i are spending more time with him but i still worry. Im hoping someone can give me advice or help about this matter. Im scared going to therapists cause i dont want them telling him that he can be whatever he wants to be. I know that is not what god wants. please help.
 
Hi,

This is not something that a woman can help him with. He needs a man to take interest in him and spend time with him. He VERY much needs this. He needs to be valued by a man. He may not be conscious of this need, but it is there.
