I just want to say what a kind and considerate young man you sound. This is not your fault, even though you feel guilty. Your life is your choice and you can't let others rule it, even if they are family. It is still fresh now so your mum will look hurt for a bit, but it's not your fault. Just remind her that you love and appreciate her and everything she's done and that's never going to change. This is just the difficult part but it will pass.

You have put into words what I was going to write. I, too was brought up jehovahs witness and didn't have birthdays or Christmases. I have notnhad the fanily upset though as my mum moved away from those beliefs when I was about 10 I think.

Anyway I agree with what you've said OP shouldn't feel bad. His mum will get over it. It's not really his fault even though he feels that it is. The best thing to do is be kind and considerate to her but stand firm.
