I've never been really "that" close to my parents, we got along really well but I never talked to them or knew much about them. Didn't help that I'm autistic and took some time to really get social and talkative. But after I transitioned when I saw they were accepting it felt like a fresh start and I now have a mother/daughter relationship on a level that I never knew. My mom confides in me, tells me stuff my dad doesn't know, etc. And it's great to finally have this relationship now that I'm older and more mature, so I can talk to them on the same level.
