About the Book
Call Me Mom: A Child’s Refusal to Bend the Truth is a deeply personal account of growing up in a home where identity, truth, and authority collided.
Told from the perspective of a child navigating circumstances beyond his control, the book explores what happens when a parent’s transformation reshapes the foundation of a family. While much of the public conversation centers on affirmation and advocacy, this story turns the lens toward the often-unspoken experience of the child the one expected to adapt, to accept, and to remain silent.
Dr. Christopher King recounts the emotional, psychological, and relational consequences of being asked to redefine reality at an age when clarity and stability matter most. At its core, this is not simply a story about transition. It is a story about autonomy. About the loss of choice. About the internal conflict between love and truth.
With honesty and restraint, Call Me Mom examines the long-term impact of decisions made within the family structure and the enduring struggle to reclaim personal freedom.
This is the story of a child who refused to bend the truth and the cost of that refusal.
