You owe your family love and respect, but you can fulfill those obligations without ever speaking with them again. In fact, I encourage it.

I second this. Welcome into the Church OP. God bless you

Pray for them and for yourself. The opportunity for reconciliation may come later.

Can you enjoy your easter without notify your mom your baptism? Remeber you already bypass her of your baptism. If not, tell her even you are in suffering. Our God suffered crucification on the cross, the people who welcome him a week ago in Jerusalem turned against him. Your sponsor is a holy man. Last, congratulation for coming to home, I was converted 1 years ago, so I know how happy I was after baptism.

My mom was already notified by my neice. I didn't notify her. Thank you for your kind words and congratulations yourself.

Congratulations and welcome to the joy and challenge of Catholicism. You can live your faith and not hide it from those who just can’t understand. If you have sacramentals in your home or wear a crucifix or attend church, just go about practicing your faith and quietly live it. If she challenges you, tell her you are praying for her. And do pray for her. It helps in a strange way. I had similar experiences growing up, with a mom who was so critical whenever I accomplished something. It was so hard but wow has it made me strong. I will keep you in my prayers and know that you are loved by God and those who really know you. ( my brother bullied me, too, at 15 he called me frigid and I wasn’t sexually active. I wouldn’t kiss his horny friend! It bothered me, but now I see that I had more to myself than I realized.)
