Yes! I don't know why I still go shopping with my mother, but I'm just so desperate to get out of the house that I constantly offer to go with her. I swear, when we're in stores, she feels the need to use my birth name (which hasn't been my legal name for almost a year now) before and after every word she says to me. And I pass really well, so when she does, I get the weirdest looks. And then there's the fact that every time we go somewhere, she runs into at least one old friend, to whom she introduces me as "you remember my daughter, *birth name*" which usually gets a completely shocked and confused look and an "ohhhhh..." It's gotten to the point I go with her and then lose her as quickly as possible. Or if she sees someone she knows, I disappear. And if she uses my birth name, I pretend she's not talking to me. It's ridiculous.
