My mother said this to me.. she had already lost a son, my brother when I was young. So was a weird thing to hear when I told her I was transitioning.
In your case I think from what you have said she's trying so it is a decent sign I hope this passes for her and she can realise she hasn't lost a child. I wish you the best for her and the rest of your family I know it is difficult.
venting
It really is such a weird thing to hear. "It's like your dead. Waaaaaaa." Uh newsflash, if I was dead we wouldnt be having this conversation. I'd be, you know, dead. Instead of being excited to meet the real me, I have to listen to her lament her suffering over the loss of the old me. I understand that it's a common thing for people to feel but for fucks sake it's incredibly self centered. As if my suffering means nothing. As if my feelings aren't valid. I should just go back to how they saw me because it was more convenient for their narrow worldview.
Oh no the old you is dead.
Yeah. Good. He sucked and was trying to kill me. Him being dead is kind of the whole point. Glad we could have this discussion.
Sorry I just really needed to vent that.
It is weird for sure
and very self centered on them. All to do with some sort of made up identity they have of you rather than actual you.. Hopefully it will subside and things improve for you.
You dont have to apologise, it is upsetting to hear that kind of stuff, I hope the vent helped.

The vent did help.
