Family Disagreements

[MaidMarion]

In an odd situation here. I changed my name way back when I was about 14. I'm 23 now and decided it was time to make the change legal to avoid so much confusion.

Mom's not taking it well and is trying ot turn the whole family against me.

I understand her viewes here. but despite what she seems to think, I'm not doing this because I'm ashamed of my family or it's haritage. though I do see how it's hard to separate. It's just I neevr liked it and wanted a change.

the change has been legal for several months and despite several attempts to contact her, I have seemingly been cut off. I really do miss her and with she'd come around.

Ah hon I don't know what to tell you. That is a tough one. But it shouldn't have been a surprise to your mom since you have been using your "new" name since you were 14 yo. Maybe if you write her a letter and reassure her that you are still her daughter. Perhaps an explanation of why you changed your name. Let her know that you understand her point of view. Sorry I couldn't be of much help. Good luck in resolving .

Family disagreements are always a tough one. Keep trying - it is the only way you can reach her. Is there anyone else in the family who could act as a mediator or even a family friend?
