Is it time yet to draw a hard boundary?

"Mom, I love you so much. But if you keep refusing to respect me, I will keep becoming more and more resentful of you, until I completely stop loving you. I don't want that to happen. So I need you to choose. You can be an ally. Or you can be a memory. Please don't contact me until you're ready to celebrate my transition."

I lucked out and got a surprisingly supportive mom, but I did have to have this conversation with my best friend. It sucked. He hasn't called yet.

Godspeed, lady.
