Congrats on starting your transformation to who you want to be ! Can I ask you when you made things public did allot of people send nice comments etc ? I lately did a similar thing and although you didn ' t directly name and shame your mother I did and the support I got was overwhelming ! She saw I was being supported and flipped she then demanded we talk more to sort our problems before they get worse code for so I can get you back under my control with a warped sense of what is normal ! See she ' s painted your picture and you ' re a horrible selfish person in it . She ' s probably gone and told all her friends and anyone who will listen all about you from this picture then BAM you put that on FB people are commenting and everyone ' s happy for you the picture is now distorted . You made a major life step without her and this is just wrong in her eyes . I don ' t let my mum be a major influence in my life anymore and I don ' t tell her my personal business . Good luck and be who you want to be ! If you still want contact with her don ' t let her get you down with telling you what your doing is wrong or selfish it ' s not it ' s your choice .
