The other day my mother finally realized that I have the kids calling me 'Mr. Mom' and using male pronouns. I haven't made an effort to hide it up until this point, but I haven't been flaunting it either. Of course she has to respond by sending me another obnoxious letter. I don't care about that.

It really shows a lack of thought for their well-being to my mind.

I'm just glad that they're not buying what she's trying to teach them. I struggled so hard with those same beliefs myself, I'd never want my kids to have to go through the same thing.

Today I brought up my sexuality with the family therapist and she seemed pretty open-minded about it. I mentioned having religious differences with my mother and she says that we probably would be better moving out. It's just a matter of affording it at this point, and in getting transportation.

Thanks, I really appreciate it.

I would have liked to walk away. It might have saved me a lot of pain. In the end it's probably better this way though. If she didn't have me right in front of her face, then she'd never have to deal with it.
