Yes, you both make good sense in what you are saying.
Just to clarify, the suggestion for therapy wasn't about her reaction this time, but numerous reactions in the past. It is more cumulative and more about her suicidal, sometimes explosive and violent and self harming tendancies. This was just another reaction on top of everything else that is going on with her, and she is refusing help and making most of us miserable in the process.
I want to include my mother in my life, I really do, but it is things like this that make me hold back. I mean, dear god, what would happen if i dislosed to her that I was bisexual? She would have an absolute fit.
Why did i choose to tell her? Well, because she has never met my friend Jeremy in person, and when she did she would absolutely know he was gay, as he is VERY feminine. I wanted to test out what she thought before she said something rude to him in person if he comes to visit. And yeah, i should have suspected that she would react the way she did, your right.
