In continuing to be open...
I talked with my mom for a while last night. I'd been fearing making this call for a long time, but knowing I had to in order to let my conscience rest peacefully. I was scared she would be disppointed in me, disown me, or possibly just never come visit me again. I really should have had more faith in my mom, for she really is the sweetest woman alive and I know she loves me to death.
I told her that Aaron and I are moving in together and that I didn't want her to feel uncomfortable about that. He's moving in with me in November.
She was surprisingly cool about it and praised me for my honesty and reassured me that she totally respects me and thinks I have grown into a lovely, smart young woman with a good head on her shoulders. She is really glad I told her so it gives her time to adjust to that, she's still going to visit me, and that she of course loves Aaron like her own child. She realizes that she's much more old-fashioned than me and of course wishes that we were married before we cohabitated, but she respects my decision and knows that I'm doing what's best for me and my happiness. And she reassured me that she really likes Aaron and couldn't have chosen better for me.
Then we had a laugh about stuff and everything is cool. She seemed alright to me, really supportive. I just hope she didn't secretly cry herself to sleep because her "good" daughter is no longer perfect in her eyes.
Now I gotta run it by my dad. I don't think he'll care much, but I'll go ahead and tell him.
I feel like I'm finally an adult and making wise, grown-up decisions. I think life is about to get real good.
