My parents refused to accept it, they said I’m making excuses to not act “normally” and have cut all contact.

That’s about them. I wonder what is up with that because it seems so irrational to me. Perhaps they feel guilty, embarrassed, or something and can’t handle it, so it’s safer for them to blame you and the entire medical community than accept any sort of feelings related to it. Still, it’s so messed up.

I made my peace with that and am grateful about it, I no longer have to tolerate toxic people demeaning me for who I am, and my children sure don’t deserve that.

That’s great! I’m happy to hear you’re taking it in a healthy manner and protecting your kids ❤️
