Personally, I would NOT apologize for asking her to respect your boundaries. You are allowed to have thoughts and feelings without her direction. It is a good, positive step for you to be able to state your boundaries to your mother. SHE may be reacting badly because she prefers the old way, but YOU are allowed to change your boundaries and tell others what the changes are and expect them to respect them.
Good for you for standing up for yourself.
