Dear Care and Feeding: My mom is furious; I’m not sure what to think.
I have estranged myself from my grandmother due to repeated microaggressions after I came out to my family . During my initial transition, I was very firm in cutting people out if they weren’t willing to respect me. My father’s side of the family wasn’t willing to sacrifice the feelings of my neurotic grandmother to enforce respect of me, even though they were all otherwise supportive. I haven’t seen them in years, and I miss them a lot.
Do I give her another chance, especially since I’ll be surrounded by people who will stick up for me? Even if we do invite her, I’m not sure I could bring myself to speak to her at the party.I really think you’re the only one who can decide whether or not to give your grandmother another chance. Family estrangement is such a hard thing, and ultimately, I hope you feel free to choose whichever path holds the least pain for you.
