Here's the actual email I sent:
Hey Mom,
So…I’ve been dating someone for a while…a woman. I have never been happier. Ex-husband and the kids know her, and they fully support me. Ex-husband and I are still best friends and we both want what’s best for everyone.
I lost all of my friends and that’s been really hard.
I didn’t know how you would feel about this so I wanted to give you time to process it. You’re not surprised, are you?
Here's her actual reply (every single word):
I'm fine. NOT surprised.
Wow. Congratz. I bet you feel better already. Maybe even a little "WTF, why didn't anyone tell me."
ReplyDeleteMoms are weird like that. :D Congrats!
ReplyDeletethat must have been such a relief! I wish my mother would catch on to email...it would save me a lot of awkward phone conversations!! Happy for you!
ReplyDeleteThat's great news!! My mom still thinks I am bisexual. O_O Not sure how to break the news; she lives in my house, so if I email her, she is just going to come right up the stairs, lol.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm glad that it didn't go badly for you. :)
