Well, something good came out of the comment my mom made at breakfast. I got a very supportive comment from my brother when I posted about it on face book, and here it is:
"To become something new the old must pass away. This is not really a bad thing. Those of us who love you, loved you as who you were, as who you are, and as who you will be. From your point of view "The Todd is dead, long live the Dot"."

sorry, Erin F.

It's also worth remembering...
It feels like that now, ditching the old you, becoming the new you, and from their point of view a period of mourning the old you has to be got through.
Actually as time goes on you, and probably they, will start to realise that in fact you're still the same you after all, just more so, and happier.
