BearsMountain: Whew.....

March 8, 2008

Whew.....

Well...I finally talked to my mom today. We both totally ignored the big elephant in the room, but it was good to talk to her. So, here is my take on it. She now knows, so I won't have to "come-out" to my mom at a later date, and she is OK with it. She also knows that I'm just not ready to talk about it right now. I did send her an email right after the blog went to her and told her it was a mistake that I sent it to her, and that I would appreciate it if she could just delete it, and forget about it for the time being. I really am not "embarrased" about this, but it's my life, my head right now, and except for my blogger friends, I'm just not feeling the need to discuss it. I need to get my head around it myself first, then move on from there.

And thanks to everyone who took the time to post to me on my last post.

Peace,

OC

Hugs. Relationships with moms can be tough at times. Mine way, and yet I desperately miss her. I'm glad you're able to talk to her, even if you avoided the elephant in the room.

I posted a few jokes/funny stories about my mother-in-law, only to find out she reads my blog. But only sporadically so she doesn't get the whole context or the idea that I'm a humor writer.

Bummer, really, because the loss of material is a big one.

I'm sorry your mom happened to read your blog right when you were baring your soul/sexual orientation. If it's any consolation, after I got divorced from my nice, nice ex-husband, my college professor parents just assumed I was gay. It was sort of hilarious because I'd go to Dallas to visit and some gay colleague would inevitably drop by... they were playing matchmaker!

Oh my gosh, my word verification is uyxraex --which I think is a sign that I need more wine.

I am glad things went so well! I am in a way quite envious. Having the secret out is in and of itself a relief.
