this was a great piece. i had a wonderful relationship with my parents until i became sexually active at 17, with a guy who, while ultimately proving to be a real piece of shit, i loved very much at the time and had no regrets about him being my first.

they asked me. i was honest. and they couldn't look at me for days and then started completely freaking out anytime i left the house to go see him. demanding that we only meet in public places, and he was never allowed at our house - not even when they were home. it was fucking awful.

so, yeah. i think that this is a thing that needed to be said. i never should have been made to feel ashamed, and it took years to recover from the damage that period of our life did to my relationship with my mom. i was safe, not stupid, and she did not want to accept that.

I had the separation from my parents when I was 19. Now I'm 29 and I've spent the last ten years with them practically strangers. It sucks...

I was the Mother of All late-bloomers as far as sexual activity is concerned (late 20s) and my parents nevertheless lost their shit in a somewhat similar fashion ( ... )

Anyway, Im really sorry that you were made to feel like shit and ashamed of yourself when you were clearly attempting to be responsible, mature and transparent about it. Like, I cant believe any of this would be an issue when the entire scenario is like, a parent's wet dream. I can only HOPE that if I have kids, they would come to me and be honest so that I can do what I can to guide them about birth control options, etc.

Figures.

I know they say parents are "only human" but sometimes they can just be horrible people who cant tell their asses from holes in the ground. From one resentful daughter to another, LOL, hugs.

This made me cry. I wish someone had told me this, instead of leaving me to blindly navigate abusive sex in secret.
