How can i get over this feeling of guilt?

I knew this question was coming. Its difficult to answer because i dont truly know how my mum would react if i came out to her.

Suppose she did disown me, to most people, that would imply that she never truly loved me because she sided with her religion over her own son. I disagree, i think thats a very simplistic way of looking at this because were not taking into account the fact that she herself is a victim of indoctrination.

I dont think its fair to assume that just because weve seen the light, everyone around us should also adopt the same way of thinking. I know it will be the hardest decision she would ever have to make. Its truly life changing but i completely understand the rationale behind her choosing religion because not too long ago, i probably would have done the same.
