Update

First, thank you for all the support.

I'm hanging in. McMumsy called/emailed and we talked. I feel like our conversation is something I need to keep offline, at least for now. I do love my Mum, more than anything, despite our differences. It's just hard to move to a place of acceptance with her for me, and harder still to move to a place of acceptance of myself, regardless of what she, or anyone else, says.
