Then mom texted me saying "Morning, I just received an email from Southwest Airlines stating that Laurel Heywood Marie & Hazel Heywood Nicholas had vouchers. I am confused."
She makes anything she doesn't like about her. I thought you knew you could trust me. I don't understand. How did this happen. Why are you doing this to me. You're MY daughter etc
Lore and I already pregamed the talk and I told her how she gets with things like this, stuff I predict will happen. Good old "cptsd survivors look for patterns and predict as a survival reflex"
This is going to be a very tough conversation to have... But remember we're here for you. We love you and your mom loves you. She's going to need time to adjust, if she's willing to. She has memories of you that you don't have of yourself - being told she's having a girl, holding you for the first time, changing diapers.
Because she can't rewrite those memories, it's going to be harder for her to accept a big change than it is for friends who got to know you later. Hopefully, you both can go forward from this point understanding each other. <3
I wish there was something I could do to help, because this sounds like a horrible situation to be in. I'll just have to send all the good vibes your way.
See your mistake was expecting the airline to remember your request. Cause there was no way in hell they would. But ughhhhh. Regardless, having that choice of when to talk about such important things taken away is truly some bullshit
Oh wow... I’m so glad you weren’t meant with outright resistance. I hope she continues to try being accepting, maybe even seeking out resources from accepting parent groups. But one step at a time, of course. Honestly I’m just getting really emotional thinking about that this isn’t a secret from her anymore
hug I am so glad she understood how important this is to you and who you are. The guilt thing might be just in her and it might never go away but to be able to say what she did was amazing. You deserve to live fully as who you are and I hope this opens that up more fully for you.
I meant to ask, I know they're women's suits but would you like to try a couple on before I donate them? I can hang onto them until whenever you're able to visit.
I'm so sorry you have to go through that
i'm so sorry you're going through this over a freakin' automated email, of all things
