Coming Out as a Mother

For Day 3: Motherhood and Reproduction for 14valentines

By the time my son arrived, I’d been coming out to people for twenty years - for so long that I didn’t even think about it any more, that it didn’t even occur to me that I was coming out any more. I was just talking about my life.

that's a coming out I'd never thought about (what with the no kid thing) but yeah, I can see how assumptions would be made by strangers. I'm so glad you were successful at stalking striking up an acquaintance with that couple, and hope you guys are able to become friends

Your post put a big smile on my face - Jae's writing for 14Valentines!

I sort of feel like the world needs a Grindr that can ping people about much more prosaic things.

This story makes me happy down to my bones.

Ahaha! I love it! You were both stalking each other and didn't know you were being stalked.

Today I ate at Ann Sather in Andersonville. I think that is where I first met you with Elizabeth all those years ago.

Ann Sather! ::sigh:: It's been forever since I ate there, but I love that place.
