Hey Everyone
I recently reconnected with my Mom again after 16 years of her cutting me off. Mom is very conservative Jehovahs Witness. My life choices were just unceptable to her. While my siblings, childhood friends, friends ofbthe family and High School friends all had no trouble with my gender evolution, my Mom is in denial and does not want to discuss this. I am very out and visible as a volunteer with 2 Narional groups. One is religious the other political. It would be impossible to avoid my male identity if she wanted to. When my sister refers to me in male pronouns or my nephews call me Uncle, Mom gets upset. Everyone who saw me grow up gets me and can see a natural evolution. I find myself wondering how to engage with my Mother in an authentic way. Has anyone been through anything similar? Thank you.
