AITA for kicking my friends and son out of my house after they all suggested I’m mentally fixated on my daughter.

My daughter had depression for most of her teenage years. I spent most of her teenage years caring for her and figuring out ways to help her. She’s also spent most of her teenage years in therapy doing different kinds of therapy with multiple therapists. <br><br>In the last year, she’s done a total 180 and isn’t depressed anymore. She’s been doing so well that I’m often in total awe of the person she’s become. <br><br>I was so happy, and a bit shocked by how well she was doing. I wanted to record her journey so she has something to look back on. In the land of Chambers, I found tons of parents who do this for their children who have different diagnoses. I figured I’d do the same. <br><br>I started an Instagram account. I’ve been documenting her for the last year. I post photos of her doing normal activities like going to school, to the mall, to the library, the grocery store, etc. <br><br>I had five friends and my son over to my home on Friday to discuss my daughter’s birthday which is next month. When they were over, they saw my phone and asked me what was on it. I showed them my daughters Instagram account, and they immediately called me crazy. They all said what I’m doing is so embarrassing. They said my daughter is going to hate me for doing this once she’s older. <br><br>I said it wasn’t a big deal. The Instagram account is private and she knows about it. They all said that I'm obsessed with my daughter and that I need to stop with all the fixated behavior. <br><br>I said she’s my only kid. I’m just so proud of her. I said she wanted to have this account and she told me it was a good idea. They all said I’m so crazy. My son said I should get a new hobby. <br><br>I got mad at all of them and told them to get out. They all left. I texted all of them and said they’re no longer welcomed. My son saw that and said I’m being dramatic and immature and need to grow up. He said I don’t need to punish my friends for being honest. <br><br>I said you think it’s fine to think I’m obsessed with my own daughter? I said you all think I’m a bad parent? My son said it’s not that I’m a bad parent but I’m just so fixated on my daughter. They all said I’m so fixated on her. <br><br>AITA?
