    At least maybe you feel a little more free now or it will come with time when the initial shock has worn off?...

    It probably feels like a downer that you didn't get to do it yourself. However, another way to look at it is that your parents already knew. They've known for a while, right? They've been waiting for you. She was likely trying to help you and thought it was the best way. I hope her reaction was a good one.

    Jack Lee... So sorry...I can see how it could be hard when you weren't ready and wanted to do it yourself. However, it's done. In some ways it takes pressure off of you...not having to face a potential bad reaction. And it seems like at least your mom already had a good idea. So, catch your breath and start planning what comes next. Try to make this the beginning of the "New You" with your family!
