If it genuinely makes you happy, then who cares what people think. If the transition saved you from unaliving yourself then i am happy for you. Its nice to hear that a parent can see that and be grateful their baby is happy again. I would however venture to say that there is some unpacking to do in the statement "that unhappy son she had once is dead for good and will never come back ever again" its not my place to unpack or pry, but as someone who has been through therapy i can tell you there are definitely some strong emotions there.
