I’m an alcoholic in recovery, I’ve been sober for 3 years now. My parents and I had a huge falling out after my last relapse. I’ve tried multiple times to reach out and heal our relationship but I’m only met with anger and hate. I’m talking really cruel stuff - “you’re a fuck up and you always will be, “you’re not my daughter anymore,” etc. Since getting sober, I’ve discovered that I am bisexual and fell in love with the most amazing woman. We are married with a baby on the way (in 1 week!) I, once again, reached out to my parents to let them know that I’m the happiest I’ve ever been and they are going to be grandparents. My mom replied with “you and your gay bimbo are disgusting, what makes you think I would care?” I haven’t reached out in months but I did type out a very heartfelt amends letter which I mailed to her. Her response was “I hope you, your brother and your faggot rot in hell. Love, Mom.” This sent me over the edge with rage. I posted it on Facebook, made sure to tag her in it and wrote “very thankful that you can choose your own family in this life.” I know this was petty and stooping to her level but I just lost it. AITA?
