When you realize just how little you know about your mom. That my mom realizes she has a double standard and is okay with treating David differently than me. When she says "well I grew up in a machista society." When I tell her I'm taking birth control because I want to be safe she gives me a look of distaste. She says she doesn't judge but I don't think she can help me. I feel more comfortable talking to my dad about sex than my mom. It's just a sad realization that there is a reason why my mom never asked me for my grades growing up. Has never been interested in what I do. I know she is smart but she just isn't as open-minded as I thought she was.
We got into an argument today because she told me she is starting to not like gay people. While I understand that she has a lot of difficulty with homosexual patients and even some doctors, I just felt it's not fair to generalize and I said that to her. It is okay to say I don't like this person, this person isn't a good person, but please don't tell me that based off of these few people that you dislike all gay people.
I'm just so sad I can't help but cry.
