text: "I love you but if you make that decision in life I can't be there for you anymore." Context: I identified as trans for a while and thought that I had to transition. My mum basically was like "you can choose between having a family or transitioning - it's still your choice though!!! :)"  In the end it doesn't really matter what the context was, phrases that start with "I love you, *but*..." are always bad.
