I did it

My mother asked why I'd been so secretive lately and I just came out and told her that I was in a relationship with a man.  It made us fight, because she can't accept it.  And I could only tell her about one man, because the shit would really hit the fan if I told her that I'm in a relationship with two men.  I'm sorry, I wish I were stronger, but

When I got your text, I was afraid it was something like this. *sigh*

Thinking of you. If you can, give me a call tomorrow after work.

Good lesson, that.

It's amazing to me how difficult it is for some parents to grasp the difference between having pride in one's children and living their own life *through* the child. I'm not *sure* this is your mom's difficulty, but from this brief description it rather sounds like it.

Good luck,

I'm sorry your mom has trouble accepting your choices, but I'm glad you told her. *hugs* Hiding who we are is poison, and I hate it when my friends have to swallow that pill.

Hopefully she will come around and accept you because you must be who you are and it will be her loss in the end if she can't. Stay strong.
