AIO To My Mom’s Response

To elaborate a bit further, I am a 30yr old (M) and I’ve been transitioned since August of 2017. Out, name changed and on T.

About two months ago, right around Trumps inauguration, my wife and I reached out to my mom with some worries of executive orders that he was rapidly signing as he had promised. We brought a few things to her- our worries of the anti-LGBTQ+ orders that were being signed, things regarding the environment because we’re avid nature lovers and hike often and our worries of immigration and deportation orders being signed. She is a huge Trump supporter and believes that he will in fact make America great again. So hopefully you can see why we would reach out and try to help broaden her viewpoints. She also keeps Fox News on regularly.

She shared her slightly harsh responses and wasn’t really receiving the information that we were trying to present to her.

She went on to respond back then by manipulating me into consoling her because she flew into this mode of being like, “omg please forgive me, I way overstepped sharing my opinion and I’ll never do it again. I’ll keep my mouth shut. I don’t want to lose my son. I love you more than anything” and turning to my wife to try and act like she was being hostile and vicious towards her by trying to share that, as my mother, she was really hurting me. I honestly felt so loved and supported by my wife and extremely confused that my own mom would turn on my wife and call her condescending and try to insinuate that she was being callous.

Fast forward to yesterday- I wanted to reach out one last time to try and resolve some of the unresolved feelings and real life issues we’ve been facing since the beginning of this year. I was met with the above response from my mom. I feel she finally dropped a mask or peeled back another layer she was trying to keep concealed from my wife and I. We’ve both been feeling lost, along with a plethora of other emotions since trying to digest this message.
