My mother thinks that extreme body modification is a form of illness; like anorexia. She made me stop watching a wonderful documentary on TLC- featuring Shannon Larat, Erik the Lizardman, and all the other icons. Mum said she does not want me watching "that". She was at the point of rage tears.
I had thought she was taking things rather well, but apparently not.
Any advice on how to deal with this? i've tried explaining how I feel, what the mods do for me... How I feel about myself, now that I'm slightly modified... How it is not about the pain, but the end result, yadda yadda. What else can I do? I know none of you have mods but if any of you have any ideas, I'd love to hear. *sigh*
mum,
modification
