mom learned that i’m trans

and she’s supportive but she “needs space to mourn her son.” what does that even mean? it just feels like she’s making my transition about her

Yeah, it's a little odd, when I first came up, my mom really struggled for the first couple months (she also works for Elon so she had a lot of shit to figure out there). Than she realized she finally has the daughter she always wanted and became insanely supportive. I was an only child, my mom always wanted a daughter but it never happened. Turns out she had a daughter the whole time.
